AI-first code editor with local and cloud agents.
Anysphere (sold via The X Subscription) · checked Oct 22, 2026
Cursor is a VS Code-based editor built around agents: local Agent, Cloud Agents, Automations, Bugbot code review and Origin code hosting. Since Oct 12, 2026 new self-serve customers buy it through The X Subscription (Grok + Cursor + X); legacy Cursor plans keep working.
Most complete agent workflow in one editor: local Agent, Cloud Agents, Automations, Bugbot review. Note new X Subscription plans bill third-party models separately.
Cloud agents can build interactive canvases and share them by link; Environments API in beta; environments up to 300 repos and 5x faster loads for large ones.
Verdict: Teams using Cursor Cloud Agents for reports and demos.
Origin (Cursor's code hosting) now integrates with 20+ apps for deploys, CI, review, security and monitoring (Cloudflare, Linear, Sentry, Socket) and opens to public submissions.
Verdict: Teams hosting code on Origin; dev-tool makers who want distribution.
New self-serve customers buy Cursor via The X Subscription: Plus $8, Premium $30, Super $100, Ultra $200 per month. Third-party models in Cursor are billed separately at API list price on Premium+. Legacy Cursor plans continue; switching is optional and permanent.
Verdict: New Cursor users who mostly use Cursor/Grok models. Heavy Claude/GPT users: compare costs before switching from a legacy plan.
See and reply to local agents running on your computer from the Cursor iOS app; on by default except Enterprise.
Verdict: Builders who kick off long local agent runs and step away.
The X Subscription: Free $0, Plus $8/mo (Cursor/Grok models only), Premium $30/mo, Super $100/mo, Ultra $200/mo; Teams from $30/seat/mo. Third-party models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) are billed separately at API list price on Premium+. (As checked on 2026-10-22; confirm on https://cursor.com/pricing.)
