When you reach the limit
Every plan includes a set amount of model usage. With on-demand usage turned on, you can keep working past it and are billed in arrears at API rates. Prices exclude tax.
Which plan suits whom
- Pro ($20)
- Trying the agent, or light daily use with frontier models.

- Using the agent every day; Cursor's own recommendation.
- Ultra ($200)

What happens when I reach the Cursor limit?
Every plan includes a set amount of model usage. With on-demand usage turned on, you can keep working past it and are billed in arrears at API rates. Prices exclude tax.
Is Cursor cheaper than paying for the API?
It depends on how much you use it. At API rates, $60 (the Pro+ price) pays for about 62 coding-agent tasks a month on Claude Sonnet 5.5, about 3 a working day, using the workload in the table above. The plan works out cheaper if its limits let you do more than that. Cursor doesn't publish its limits in tokens, so the only sure test is your own usage.
