Tool profile
Cursor
Cursor is a code editor built on top of VS Code that embeds AI assistance directly into the editing experience. It lets you write, edit, and refactor code using natural language instructions, inline completions, and a chat panel that understands your entire codebase. It is designed to replace your standard editor rather than bolt AI on as a plugin.
Models and pricing
Casual or occasional coding with AI assistance
Includes 2,000 code completions per month and 50 slow premium requests. Good for trying Cursor out or light personal projects, but the request caps will feel tight quickly for daily use.
Individual developers using AI assistance as a core part of their workflow
Unlimited code completions, 500 fast premium model requests per month (GPT-4, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, etc.), and unlimited slow requests. This is the right tier for most working developers.
Teams needing centralized billing, admin controls, and enforced privacy settings
Everything in Pro plus team management, SSO, and a privacy mode that ensures code is not stored or used for training. Required for most professional or enterprise environments handling sensitive code.
Large organizations with custom security, compliance, or deployment requirements
Cursor does not publish exact enterprise pricing. Includes dedicated support and likely options for self-hosted or stricter data handling. Contact Anysphere directly for a quote.
Which one should you use?
Most individual developers should start with the free tier to test the workflow and then move to Pro at $20/month once it becomes a daily tool; teams handling proprietary code should go straight to Business for the privacy guarantees.
