In this video, I'll show you the different plans available in Cursor, how to get student discounts, as well as where to see the breakdown of your monthly usage.
Here's a quick overview of the pricing with cursor. Unfortunately, cursor is not free, but it does have a 2-week free trial. 200 completions means you get 200 tab completes. We've already covered this in the cursor quick start section, but this is when you hit tab to accept the suggestion from the LLM. And you also get 50 requests per month, which is every single time you use the chat or agent to call a large language model.
The pro feature is pretty worth it in my opinion because you get unlimited tab completions and a generous 500 requests per month.
They also recently launched education pricing, which I highly recommend if you're a student, You'll just need a valid .edu university email.
When you reach your request limit, you'll trigger slow requests, which takes about one to five seconds slower than the regular Chat request
You'll also be able to use the max mode where cursor will not intelligently reduce the size of your prompt. It'll use all the tokens to get maximum accuracy from the large language model.
The business mode is slightly more expensive, but I highly recommend this if you're working in a team because you'll get standardized team billing, admin dashboards, and better security policies with SAML and OIDC SSO.
This means that you can manage access for your employees without having them all create and manage billing on their separate accounts.
If you're interested in security, I recommend you read the privacy and security policies as there are a lot of nuances here. Depending on the type of license you have and what kind of models you use.
If you're ever curious about how many requests you have left or how many additional costs you've incurred by going over your limits or by using premium models, you can go to your cursor account settings on the top right here.
You can see in about 11 days since I code quite a bit that I've already used my limit of 500 requests.
