There is a free Hobby tier with limited agent requests. Pro is $20/mo with extended limits, and Pro+ and Ultra scale those limits further from the same $20 base. Teams starts at $40 per user/mo, with Enterprise on custom pricing. No tier is truly unlimited — plans differ by agent request limits.

Can I use my VS Code extensions?

Yes — Cursor is built on VS Code, so all your extensions, themes, settings, and keybindings transfer seamlessly.

Which AI models does Cursor use?

Cursor ships its own Composer model and offers frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI. You can pick a model per task, or let Cursor Router choose one for you.
