Cursor

Cursor learns how your codebase works regardless of scale or complexity, maintaining context across thousands of files to provide relevant suggestions and accurate code generation. Privacy Mode ensures your code is never used for training, with customizable retention policies for organizations with strict security requirements. The platform supports SOC 2 compliance, SAML/OIDC Single Sign-On, role-based access control, and centralized team billing for enterprise deployments. The Pro plan includes $20 of Agent model usage per month at API pricing, with the option to purchase additional credits at cost. Ultra subscribers, on the other hand, receive unlimited access to frontier models. Developers maintain complete ownership of all generated code, free to use commercially regardless of which plan they're on.

• Solo developers and freelancers building complex applications who need intelligent assistance for refactoring, debugging, and implementing features faster than manual coding allows

Common Questions

How is Cursor different from GitHub Copilot?

Cursor offers more comprehensive features including Composer for multi-file editing, Agent mode for autonomous task completion, and Tab autocomplete that suggests entire code blocks with better contextual awareness than single-line suggestions.

What's included in the free Hobby plan?

The Hobby plan includes basic access to Cursor's AI features with usage limits. Pro plan at $20/month provides at least $20 of Agent model inference at API pricing, unlimited Tab autocomplete, and priority access to new features.

Does Cursor work with my existing VS Code extensions?

Yes, since Cursor is a VS Code fork, it maintains compatibility with the vast majority of VS Code extensions, allowing you to bring your existing development environment and customizations.

Who owns the code that Cursor generates?

You own all code generated by Cursor regardless of your plan tier, with full commercial usage rights and no restrictions on how you deploy or monetize the generated code.
