$8/mo
VerifiedAnnual is $80/yr on Cursor's pricing docs.
Base weekly pool for Cursor models (Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5, and Composer 2.5), shared with Grok. Fast is off and effort is medium. No Auto, Cloud Agents, third-party models, or your own API keys. The pool size is not published as a prompt count.
The entry paid plan. Cursor recommends Premium, not Plus, for new agent users.
Individual
$30/mo
VerifiedAnnual is $300/yr on Cursor's pricing docs.
4x Plus usage of the weekly Cursor-model pool. Adds Cloud Agents, Automations, Origin, Bugbot, and third-party models at API list price from prepaid credit. Third-party models are not included in the $30.
Cursor's pricing page calls this the plan for new AI users.

Free
VerifiedAgent, Chat, and Tab with limited usage. No Cloud Agents, Bugbot, or Origin. No on-demand usage. No published request count.
The free plan from before The X Subscription. Not sold to new customers. Left out of budget matching so it does not duplicate Free.
Individual
₹649/mo, tax inclusive
VerifiedCursor Models pool only. No Other Models pool. Fast mode and effort controls are off. No on-demand usage.
Legacy regional plan. The legacy plans page still lists ₹649/mo, tax inclusive. Left out of US-dollar budget matching.
Individual
$20/mo
VerifyTwo monthly pools: Cursor Models and Other Models. Older help text listed $20 of included Other Models usage. The current legacy plans page no longer prints that dollar amount. Unlimited Tab. On-demand after the pools, if you turn it on.
Not sold to new customers. The $20 price is on the legacy plans page. The included Other Models dollar amount is no longer published, so this row stays Verify and does not count toward the budget.
Individual
$60/mo
VerifySame two monthly pools as legacy Pro, with more of each pool. Older help text listed $70 of included Other Models usage. The current legacy plans page no longer prints that dollar amount.
Not sold to new customers. The $60 price is published. The $70 pool figure is not, so this row stays Verify.
Individual
$200/mo
VerifySame two monthly pools, with more of each than legacy Pro+. Older help text listed $400 of included Other Models usage. The current legacy plans page no longer prints that dollar amount.
Not sold to new customers. The $200 price is published. The $400 pool figure is not, so this row stays Verify. New customers buy Ultra on The X Subscription instead.

Verified15 tasks per rolling 24 hours, 3 concurrent tasks, Gemini 2.5 Pro. Jules' own label for this row is evaluating the agent on real work.
Task counts are on jules.google and the usage-limits doc. Neither page prints a dollar price because this row is free.
Individual
$19.99/mo
Verified100 tasks per rolling 24 hours, 15 concurrent tasks, and higher access to the latest model. The Jules plan table says that starts with Gemini 3 Pro. A March 9, 2026 Jules changelog says Gemini 3.1 Pro replaced Gemini 3 Pro as the default for Pro users.
Jules docs say Jules in Pro is included with Google AI Pro. The $19.99 price is the Google AI Pro price on Google One, which also includes storage and other Google AI products. Google AI Plus at $4.99 is not listed by Jules as an upgrade. Google One only labels Plus Jules limits as Limited, so it is not a paid Jules row.
Individual
$99.99/mo
VerifiedGoogle One labels Jules task limits, concurrent limits, and latest-model access as Higher than Pro. Jules' plan table publishes one Ultra row of 300 tasks per rolling 24 hours and 60 concurrent tasks, and does not say whether that row is this 5x plan, the 20x plan, or both.
The $99.99 price is Google AI Ultra 5x on Google One. The task number is left off this card so a single Ultra row is not pasted onto both prices.
Individual
$199.99/mo
VerifiedGoogle One labels Jules task limits, concurrent limits, and latest-model access as Highest. The same Jules Ultra row of 300 tasks and 60 concurrent tasks is not assigned to this price either.
The $199.99 price is Google AI Ultra 20x on Google One. Jules docs describe one Ultra benefit and one set of task numbers.
On The X Subscription the included pool refreshes weekly, and unused included usage does not roll over. Legacy Cursor plans reset monthly with the billing cycle.
On a paid X Subscription plan, add prepaid credit or wait for the weekly reset. Third-party models on Premium and above are paid from that credit from the first request.
Task limits are a rolling 24 hours, not midnight. Concurrent-task caps apply at the same time. Family-plan members each have their own limits. They are not pooled.
When the new-task button turns off, keep reviewing tasks that are already running. History stays available.
Cursor's cheapest paid plan the ranking counts is Plus at $8/mo. Jules's cheapest paid plan the ranking counts is Google AI Pro (Jules in Pro) at $19.99/mo.
Cursor is for a web app or SaaS you will keep editing in a repo, scripts and automations next to existing code, and people who can follow a diff even if they did not write it.
Jules is for bug fixes, version bumps, and small features on a repo you already have, handing off a task and reviewing the pull request later, and a free daily allowance with a published task count.
Cursor scores 1 out of 5 for someone who does not want to read code. Jules scores 2 out of 5. Jules has the higher no-code score. You will be reading diffs. If code on screen is a dealbreaker, use a browser builder. You need a GitHub repo and you need to read the pull request. This is not a form that publishes an app.
Cursor: Free includes limited Agent and Chat, plus Tab completions on Cursor's own models. Cursor does not publish a request count. Jules: 15 tasks per rolling 24 hours, 3 concurrent, on Gemini 2.5 Pro. Jules describes this plan as evaluating the agent on real work. It does not host the project.
