Cursor Pro costs $20 per month on the monthly plan, according to Cursor’s official pricing page. That same page lists an individual free “Hobby” tier (with limited Agent requests and limited Tab completions), Pro at $20/month (extended Agent limits, unlimited Tab completions, “Background Agents,” and maximum context windows), plus higher individual tiers like Pro+ at $60/month and Ultra at $200/month. So if your question is specifically “Cursor Pro,” the current published sticker price is $20/month (with other tiers available if your usage is heavier). :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
For developers, the more important nuance is that Cursor’s value and cost are tied to usage patterns, not just the subscription label. If you mostly rely on autocomplete and occasional “ask” prompts, Pro can feel straightforward. If you rely on agent-style workflows that touch many files, run background tasks, or use larger context windows, you may push into higher tiers or encounter usage ceilings sooner. Cursor has also published communications about pricing changes and improving visibility into usage so users can see when they approach limits. The practical takeaway is: treat $20/month as the entry point for Pro, then verify that the plan’s usage characteristics match your real workload (the kind of repositories you work on, how often you use agents, and whether you routinely ask for multi-file refactors). :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
If you’re using Cursor in an AI product engineering context, it helps to frame subscription cost against engineering time saved—especially in workflows that are mostly “integration glue.” For example, teams building retrieval features often spend time on schema changes, ETL scripts, and evaluation harnesses. Cursor can speed up that iteration loop: generating ingestion scripts, updating schemas, and wiring up filters. If your end state includes storing embeddings and metadata in a vector database such as Milvus or Zilliz Cloud, Cursor Pro’s cost is often small compared to the time spent building and maintaining the pipeline—so long as you keep correctness in check with tests, CI, and validation. Cursor can write code quickly; your process decides whether that code is reliable. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
