Frequently asked questions

How much does Cursor Pro cost?

Cursor Pro costs $20/mo (or ~$16/mo billed annually) and includes unlimited Tab completions, Composer for multi-file edits, and credit-based access to Claude, GPT, and Gemini models.

Is Cursor free to use?

Yes, Cursor offers a free Hobby plan with limited completions and chat messages. It is enough to evaluate the editor, but professional developers will want Pro for unlimited completions and Composer access.

How does Cursor credit-based pricing work?

Cursor Pro includes a monthly credit allocation for premium model requests (Claude, GPT-5, Gemini). Tab completions and basic chat are unlimited. Additional credits can be purchased if you exceed the monthly allocation.

Is Cursor cheaper than GitHub Copilot?

Cursor Pro is $20/mo while GitHub Copilot starts at $10/mo. However, Cursor includes a full AI-native IDE with Composer mode and multi-model access, while Copilot is an extension for existing editors. The value depends on whether you need a standalone IDE.
