Data-integrity correction (config mismatch): Cursor exposes GPT-5.6 Sol at the OpenAI xHigh config ($4 input / $5 cache-write / $0.4 cache-read / $20 output), not OpenAI's base-promo list $2/$10/$0.20. The stored Cursor rule was set to the base-promo proxy; corrected to Cursor's own listed row (verified live 2026-09-04). Sol now renders ~2× more expensive on cursor-pro/pro-plus/ultra.

Common questions
Which Cursor plan is cheapest?
Cursor Pro at $20/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — compare Req/$1 in the calculator.
How many plans does Cursor offer?
3 tiers tracked, 3 currently active. Every tier is in the plans table below with its price, models and usage ceiling.
What is Cursor?
Cursor is an AI-native coding IDE from a US company. Its subscriptions bundle agentic coding features with two model pools: the Cursor Models pool and a third-party Other Models pool.
Which models do the Cursor plans include?
The tracked plans list 11 models: Composer 2.5, Grok 4.6 and Grok 4.5 in the Cursor Models pool, plus Claude, GPT and Gemini (Opus 5, Sonnet 5, Fable 5, GPT-5.6 Luna/Sol/Terra, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3.7 Flash) served from the Other Models pool at their API rates.
Can I use Cursor plans with any agent (BYOK)?
No — Cursor plans work inside the Cursor IDE rather than as a standalone endpoint. The Other Models pool bills at the models’ API list rates, and Cursor also supports bringing your own API key.
How does Cursor billing work?
The Cursor Models pool includes generous usage with no published dollar size, while the Other Models pool is a monthly dollar allowance billed at API rates. The calculator models the Other Models pool and marks the Cursor Models pool figures as n/a where no budget is published.
Who are the Cursor plans for?
Developers who live in an IDE and want a single subscription for agentic editing plus pay-as-you-go access to the frontier third-party models.
