AI-first code editor whose agents edit multi-file projects, run in the cloud and review pull requests
Cursor is a desktop code editor for macOS, Windows and Linux built around AI agents: they write and refactor code with repository context, run in parallel in the cloud, review pull requests and hook into Slack and CI. Tab completion and access to frontier models from several labs plus its own Composer models round it out. The Hobby tier is free with limited agent use; Pro costs $20 a month with usage-based extras billed in arrears, Pro+ and Ultra multiply agent limits at higher prices, and Teams runs $40 per user per month with SSO and analytics.
Hobby is free with limited agent requests; Pro is $20/month with model usage included and overages billed monthly in arrears. Pro+ (3x limits) and Ultra (20x limits, priority access) sit above Pro at higher prices the pricing page reveals in a selector; Teams is $40/user/month and Enterprise is custom with pooled usage.
Use tool βThe default choice for developers who want agentic coding inside a real editor, with cloud agents, PR review and multi-model access that large engineering orgs have already standardized on. The catch is the bill: agent-heavy use runs past plan allowances and overages are billed in arrears, so costs need active monitoring.
Watch out: Overage charges land in arrears the following month β set spend caps if agents run in CI or on schedules.
