Cursor

Cursor is an AI-first code editor built on VS Code. It understands your whole codebase, so you can ask it in plain language to write code, fix bugs, explain files and refactor across many files at once. Features include tab autocomplete, agents that carry out multi-step tasks, auto mode, max mode and background or cloud agents. Who it suits: professional developers, startups and students who want AI built into their editor and are comfortable with VS Code, since it supports familiar extensions and shortcuts. Pricing (per a Jet Admin guide updated Sept 2026): Hobby is free with limited tab completions and agent requests. Pro is $20 per month, Pro+ is $60 per month with about 3x the usage, and Ultra is $200 per month with about 20x the usage plus max mode and cloud agents. Teams is $40 per user per month (Standard) or $120 (Premium), and Enterprise is custom. Annual billing typically saves about 20%. How usage works: each paid plan includes a credit pool roughly equal to its price. Cursor’s own models draw from a larger allowance, while third-party models such as Claude, GPT and Gemini are billed at API rates, and premium models, large context and max mode use credits faster. Things to know: since the move to usage-based billing in 2025, some users have reported unexpected charges, so set a spend limit. Hobby limits can interrupt longer sessions, and add-ons such as Bugbot are billed separately. Last verified: November 2026.
