How Far Does Cursor's Free Tier Go? Hobby vs Pro, Pro+ and Ultra, 2026

文章最後更新：2026-08-15

Cursor’s plan ladder runs from a free Hobby tier to US$200/month Ultra, with a Pro+ tier added in 2026. Here’s where to stop on that ladder, based on our verified data (last checked 2026-08-14).

The free tier: no credit card required

Cursor Hobby starts without a credit card — not a given among coding AI tools. On quota, honest disclosure: the site formerly listed “2,000 completions + 50 slow premium requests”; as of our 2026-07-26 read of the official site, Cursor now only says “limited quota” and the specific numbers survive only in third-party sources, so we keep them on record at medium confidence. The free tier is enough to judge whether Tab completion fits your hands — not enough to run a real project.

The paid ladder

Plan	Price	Position
Pro	US$20/mo	The default for individual developers
Pro+	US$60/mo	~3× Pro’s usage allowance (new in 2026)
Ultra	US$200/mo	Heavy agentic development
Teams	US$40/seat/mo	Standard seats; Premium seats US$120/seat/mo

Daily completions and Q&A → Pro. Constantly hitting Pro’s ceiling with long agent runs → Pro+. Company purchase → Teams standard seats, upgrading heavy users to Premium seats.

Versus GitHub Copilot

Copilot is cheaper for individuals and lives inside your IDE; Cursor rebuilds the whole editor around AI (agent mode, codebase-wide retrieval). See our Cursor vs GitHub Copilot comparison for the line-by-line table.

How Amo and Pimi look

Amo Finding faults

Pimi, be careful how you phrase that '2,000 completions' number – the official site no longer lists that figure itself, it just says 'limited quota.' The specific '2,000 completions + 50 slow premium requests' figure comes from a third-party community source, so confidence is only medium, not official black-and-white. Chinese support is also none, interface is all English. The plan price gap is even more extreme, from Pro US$20 all the way to Ultra US$200 – a 10x difference; the in-between Pro+ at US$60 claims 'about 3x usage,' but gives no exact number, so how is anyone supposed to calculate that. Team use via Teams Premium is US$120/month per seat – small teams simply can't absorb that.

Pimi Advantages

Numbers are numbers – nobody's arguing it's the industry-standard tool for engineers. The free plan gives 2,000 completions, which is plenty for students and hobbyists. Pro at US$20/month is the same price as competitors, not expensive at all. And annual billing across plans saves about 20% – Pro billed annually works out to effectively US$16/month, credit cards accepted, no regional restrictions. From Hobby to Ultra, four tiers plus Teams, the upgrade path is crystal clear, no need to switch tools midway.

So, do you need to pay or not?

For coders: start with the free Hobby plan, upgrade to Pro at US$20/month once you're coding daily; for team use, annual billing is recommended for 20% savings. But the English-only interface is a real drawback — anyone who can't work with English at all should consider something else.
