What Cursor costs

Price not verified

We have not read Cursor’s pricing page ourselves, so we publish no price for it. Our catalogue records Free / $20/mo+ from the day the row was added. That string is out of date on 43 of our 190 rows, so treat the figure as the catalogue’s, not as ours.

How we check this page

Machine facts. Stars, licence, the newest commit on the default branch, the latest stable release and download counts are read straight from the GitHub API and from npm, PyPI, Homebrew and the VS Code Marketplace. Each one shows the day it was last confirmed, not the day this page was built. A failed fetch keeps the old value and its old date rather than overwriting it.
Judgments. Every claim about what a tool suits, what it is bad at and what it costs is quoted from a page we read, and that page is linked beside the claim. If there is no link, we did not write the claim.
What we do not publish. No score out of five and no star rating. Every other claim here traces to a source, and a number we could not justify would undermine the ones that can.
