Cursor
Cursor is a code editor and coding agent built by Anysphere for teams that want to ship ambitious software faster. You describe what you need in natural language, and Cursor plans changes, edits files, runs terminal commands, and reviews diffs inside a familiar VS Code-style workspace. It is aimed at professional developers who want one surface for tab completions, targeted edits, and full agent runs.
What sets Cursor apart is how deeply it learns your repository before writing code. A custom embedding index gives agents strong recall across large monorepos, while subagents can explore different parts of the codebase in parallel using the model best suited to each task. You can switch between frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and xAI, or use Cursor's own Composer models when you want the agent tuned for software work.
Cursor spans the full workflow, not just autocomplete. Agents support plan, debug, and design modes; Bugbot reviews pull requests for logic issues; and integrations reach into GitHub, Slack, Linear, and JetBrains IDEs. The same agent also runs in the desktop app, the CLI, and cloud agents from a browser or phone.
Large organizations adopt Cursor for centralized billing, SAML/OIDC SSO, SCIM provisioning, usage analytics, and enterprise controls over models, MCP servers, and repositories. Cursor reports that more than half of Fortune 500 companies use the product and that over 50,000 enterprises build with it.
Agents that plan tasks, edit multiple files, and run shell commands from one prompt
Tab completions that predict your next edit line by line in the open file
Switch between Composer, GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and other frontier models
Custom codebase indexing built for recall across huge monorepos
Same agent in the desktop app, CLI, browser cloud agents, and mobile
Bugbot reviews pull requests and surfaces logic bugs before merge
MCP, skills, and plugins hook into GitHub, Figma, Slack, and more
Hobby tier is free with no credit card required.
Supports multiple frontier models plus Cursor Composer in one editor.
Codebase indexing is tuned for large monorepos and long-term team context.
Desktop app, CLI, cloud agents, and GitHub or Slack integrations cover most workflows.
Enterprise plans add SSO, SCIM, audit logs, and org-wide privacy controls.
The free Hobby plan caps Agent requests and Tab completions.
Usage beyond included model allotments is billed on demand.
Enterprise pricing requires contacting sales rather than self-serve checkout.
Does Cursor have a free plan?
Yes. Cursor offers a Hobby plan at no cost with no credit card required. The free tier includes limited Agent requests and limited Tab completions, while paid Individual and Teams plans raise usage limits and add features like cloud agents and team administration.
What AI models does Cursor support?
Cursor lets you choose between frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and xAI, along with Cursor's own Composer models. The model picker is available in Agent mode, and Auto can suggest a model for each task.
Can Cursor handle large codebases and monorepos?
Cursor is built for enterprise-scale repositories. Its codebase indexing uses a custom embedding model so agents can search and recall context across codebases with millions of lines and hundreds of thousands of files.
How much does Cursor Pro cost?
Cursor's Individual Pro plan is $20 per month. It includes extended Agent limits, access to frontier models, MCPs, skills, hooks, cloud agents, and Bugbot on usage-based billing. Teams costs $40 per user per month with centralized billing, SSO, and shared team context.
How does Cursor handle code privacy?
Cursor supports Privacy Mode, which can be enabled by a user or enforced org-wide by a team admin. When Privacy Mode is on, Cursor states that your code is not used for training by Cursor or its model providers.
Can I use Cursor from the command line?
Yes. Cursor offers a CLI that runs agents in any terminal, script, or external editor. You install it separately and can use the same agent workflows outside the desktop IDE.
What platforms does Cursor support?
Cursor ships desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus a CLI for terminal workflows. Cloud agents also run from the browser and mobile, and integrations connect Cursor to GitHub, Slack, Linear, and JetBrains IDEs.
