Cursor: Pricing, Limits and Plans After the SpaceXAI Deal (October 2026)

SpaceXAIEditor (own) · Cloud agentVerified October 13, 2026

Quick answer

Cursor's plans changed in October 2026. Plus ($8/month) is a Grok-only introductory plan; Premium ($30/month, the most popular) gives 4x Plus's usage, cloud agents, and other vendors' models at API list price; Super ($100) gives 15x and Ultra ($200) 50x. Usage is a pool shared with Grok's chat and other products, and it refreshes weekly.

Models: Grok models in the shared pool; third-party models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) on Premium and up, billed separately at API list price.

Plans and what they include

How billing and limits work

  • Each plan buys a share of one usage pool that Cursor shares with SpaceXAI's Grok products; it refreshes weekly.
  • Allowances are multiples of Plus (4x, 15x, 50x) — Cursor publishes no request or token counts.
  • Third-party models are billed separately by usage at API list price and you can set spending caps; Grok API usage doesn't draw from the plan pool.
  • When the allowance runs out you can buy top-offs or wait for the weekly refresh.

Best for

  • Developers who want an AI-first editor with a choice of models (on Premium and up).
  • People who also use Grok or X Premium and want one bill for all three.
  • Heavy users on Ultra, where 50x Plus's usage costs 25x its price.

Watch out for

  • The $8 Plus plan is Grok-only — no Claude or GPT.
  • Using Claude or GPT bills separately at API list price on top of the plan.
  • Plans changed twice in 2026 (August usage billing, October bundle); expect more movement.
