Cursor (bundled with X Premium and Grok)
Cursor plan limits and pricing
AI code editor. Paid plans from $8 to $200 a month. Checked October 30, 2026.
How Cursor meters usage
Cursor is sold as part of The X Subscription (Grok, Cursor and X). Every paid plan includes one weekly pool of usage for Cursor models (Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5), shared across Agent in the editor, CLI, Cloud Agents, Grok Bot and the Grok apps; different models draw from the pool at different rates and unused usage does not roll over. Tiers are expressed as multiples of the Plus pool (Plus = Base, Premium 4x, Super 15x, Ultra 50x); Cursor publishes no request or credit counts. Third-party models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) are not in the pool: on Premium and above they are billed at API list price from the first request out of prepaid credit; Free and Plus cannot use them. Prepaid credit (manual top-ups or Auto Top-up) also pays for Cursor-model usage beyond the weekly pool at the same per-model rates; credit expires 365 days after purchase and a monthly additional usage limit can cap spend. Teams and Enterprise pay an extra Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens on eligible third-party requests (including BYOK). Grok API usage is billed separately and does not draw from the pool.
