Every Cursor plan in plain numbers, how on-demand usage changes the bill, and what a 25-developer team pays.
The short answer
Cursor Pro costs USD 20 a month, Pro+ USD 60 and Ultra USD 200, while Teams costs USD 40 per user per month for a Standard seat or USD 120 for a Premium seat. Hobby is free and Enterprise is quoted. A 25-developer team pays USD 12,000 a year on Teams Standard seats before on-demand usage.

Cursor plans and prices
Cursor's seat price is the easy part. Every plan includes a set amount of model usage, and once developers use it up, on-demand usage keeps them working at API rates, billed after the fact. For a team that leans on agents, the usage line can rival the seat line.
This guide prices every Cursor plan from the official pricing page and Cursor's docs, then shows what a real development team pays.
Prices below were recorded on 12 October 2026. The headline figure is the lowest price you can get for that plan. Check the official page before you buy, because vendors change prices without notice.

How billing works
Each paid seat includes usage across two pools, Cursor Models and Other Models, which resets each billing cycle and does not transfer between team members. After included usage runs out, on-demand usage continues at API rates and is billed monthly in arrears, and on Teams it is enabled by default. Third-party models on Teams on-demand are billed at public API list prices plus a Cursor Token Rate of USD 0.25 per million tokens. Self-serve plans are paid by card, and invoice or wire billing requires Enterprise.
The tier trap
Teams has no pooled usage and no per-member spend limits, and on-demand usage is on by default. One heavy agent user can run up a large bill, and the controls that stop it start on Enterprise.
Read this first. Monthly prices (Pro USD 20, Pro+ USD 60, Ultra USD 200, Teams USD 40 Standard and USD 120 Premium) were read on cursor.com/pricing and Cursor Docs on 12 October 2026. The official page has a yearly toggle but shows no yearly figures in text, so the annual Pro (USD 16) and Pro+ (USD 48) prices come from AICodeReview (February 2026) and need confirming. The Teams annual price is unverified (one unread report says USD 32), so it is shown as not available. Included usage dollar amounts are not published on the official page. Hobby limits and the one-week Pro trial are third-party only. The standalone Bugbot price (USD 40 per user, third-party) is not on the official page and is not used. The on-demand scenario uses an illustrative USD 25 per developer per month.

What each Cursor plan includes
Compare the plans side by side. Where a cell says Check page, the vendor's pricing page was not specific enough for us to fill it in.
| Feature | Pro | Pro+ | Teams | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price per user per month | USD 20 | USD 60 | USD 40 Standard, USD 120 Premium | Custom |
| Included usage | Extended Agent limits | Larger than Pro | Standard allowance, Premium 5x | Pooled across users |
| On-demand usage | Optional | Optional | On by default | Per-member spend limits |
Features we could not place by plan: SAML/OIDC SSO, Team privacy mode enforcement, SCIM and audit logs, Invoice and PO billing. Check the official page for which plan includes each one.
Which Cursor plan should you pick?
Hobby
Pick it if you are trying Cursor and limited Agent requests are enough.
Pro
Pick it if you are one developer using agents and frontier models every day.
Pro+ or Ultra
Pick it if you keep exhausting the Pro allowance and want more usage at a fixed price.
Teams
Pick it if the company pays and needs SSO, central billing and privacy mode enforcement.
Enterprise
Pick it if you need pooled usage, per-member spend limits, SCIM or invoice billing.
Our view
Cursor Pro is good value for a developer who codes with AI daily, and Teams at USD 40 is reasonable once SSO and central billing matter. The risk is usage. Without spend limits, on-demand charges and Premium seats can push the real cost well past the seat price.
You may be overpaying if
On-demand usage runs with no limit, Premium seats go to developers who rarely hit the Standard allowance, or developers expense personal Pro+ or Ultra plans on top of company Teams seats.
How to pay less for Cursor
Set spending limits
Cap on-demand usage per user on Teams before rollout, since it is on by default.
Assign Premium seats by usage
Start everyone on Standard and upgrade only developers who repeatedly exhaust it.
Use Cursor models where they fit
First-party Cursor models avoid the USD 0.25 per million token rate charged on third-party models.
Pay yearly on individual plans
Third-party guides report about 20% off annual billing on Pro and Pro+.
Ask for volume pricing
Cursor routes volume discounts through enterprise@cursor.com, so bring seat counts and usage history.
Compare with Copilot
GitHub Copilot Business at USD 19 per seat gives you a credible counter-offer.

Keeping Cursor spend under control
Developers adopt editors on their own, and usage-based charges arrive after the month ends. The seat count and the on-demand spend need separate owners.
- Set budgets and alerts. Usage bills grow without anyone signing anything. Set a monthly budget and an alert at 80 percent of it.
- Tag cost to a team. Give every project an owner so a bill can be traced. Our spend management software guide covers the controls to look for.
- Review commitments before renewal. Committed spend discounts only pay off if you use the commitment. Compare 12 months of real use with the plan before you renew, using a renewal tracker.
- Count the full cost, not the list price. Support, egress, extra seats and add-ons change the real figure. Our total cost of ownership guide shows how to add it up.
Bottom line. Put developers on Teams Standard seats, set on-demand limits before rollout, and reserve Premium seats for people who prove they need them. Move to Enterprise when pooled usage, SCIM or invoice billing become requirements.
