Cursor and Grok combined in one subscription starting at $8

What's new

Cursor, a popular program for writing code with AI assistance, has a new pricing page with plans under the name X Subscription. Cursor and Grok's AI products are now bundled in a single subscription. There are five tiers for regular users: Free at $0, Plus at $8, Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200 per month. There are also Teams from $30 per user per month and Enterprise, priced by agreement, for large companies.

According to Cursor's page, Plus includes Grok Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build, plus access to Cursor. Premium and higher tiers add the latest Grok models and Grok Bot. According to Superpower Daily, which cites Cursor's announcement, individual plans are available immediately, and existing Cursor subscribers can keep their current plan or switch.

What's smart

Usage is shared across Cursor and the Grok products. That means you don't need two subscriptions and two separate quotas. Usage is stated relative to Plus: Premium gives 4 times as much, Super 15 times and Ultra 50 times.

According to Superpower Daily, usage resets weekly, even though billing is monthly. You can also set a spending cap for third-party models so the bill doesn't spiral out of control.

Cheaper or better?

It's hard to say whether this is cheaper than before or than the competition. The prices of the closest competitors aren't included in the sources, and there are no measurements of speed or quality.

One important caveat is that using third-party models in Cursor, meaning models other than Grok, is not included in the monthly price. It is purchased separately at API list price on Premium and above. According to Superpower Daily, Plus is limited to Grok models in Cursor. If you want to use other AI models, there are extra costs on top.

The prices are web prices in US dollars. The sources don't say whether the plans are available in Denmark or the EU, or what they cost in Danish kroner.

A leaked screen recording that @blankspeaker posted on X around October 4 showed the same price tiers from $8 to $200. In it, the annual prices were $80, $300, $1,000 and $2,000 for the four paid tiers, and there was an introductory discount through October 9. The leak swapped the names Plus and Premium. Cursor's own page is newer and is used as the basis here. Crypto Briefing wrote on October 11-12 that there was no official confirmation, but Cursor's page now shows the plans as live.

What it's good for

Plus at $8 suits those who want to try Grok's chat, voice and image tools while also having access to Cursor, as long as they stick with Grok models. The leak doesn't show what Cursor access the $8 tier provides, but Cursor's page mentions access.

Premium at $30 gives the latest Grok models, Grok Bot and four times as much usage, and here you can also buy other models at list price. Super and Ultra are for people who code a lot and need 15 or 50 times the Plus allowance. Teams and Enterprise are aimed at companies that want to bring their developers' AI tools together under one subscription.
