Cursor product cover
Product cover

Cursor is a coding workspace with agents that help create and change software. The free Hobby plan offers limited agent usage. Pro expands access to models and agents, while Teams adds shared administration, team context and privacy controls. Developers should account for both subscription costs and any enabled on-demand model usage. Privacy mode governs whether code is used for training. Cursor is a separate product from Cursor Search; its official subscriptions are sold directly through cursor.com.
