The entry paid plan. Cursor recommends Premium, not Plus, for new agent 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.

₹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.

Individual
$30/user/mo
Verified$30 of included monthly credits per user and $2 of daily credits on login. Extra credits can be purchased. Team sharing and centralized billing.
This is the paid plan the pricing page offers new users. On 2026-10-19 that page showed $30/user/month with $90 struck through beside it. The docs also list Plus at $30/user/month.
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.
Free is capped at 7 messages a day. Paid plans are credit-based. Unused monthly credits roll one cycle and expire after 65 days. Purchased credits expire after one year and need an active paid plan to spend.
On Free, wait until the next day. Seven messages go quickly if you regenerate the whole page.
Cursor's cheapest paid plan the ranking counts is Plus at $8/mo. v0's cheapest paid plan the ranking counts is Plus at $30/user/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.
v0 is for landing pages and React UI, a frontend you will deploy on Vercel, and people who want to see a design before they think about a backend.
Cursor scores 1 out of 5 for someone who does not want to read code. v0 scores 4 out of 5. v0 has the higher no-code score. You will be reading diffs. If code on screen is a dealbreaker, use a browser builder. You can prompt a page into existence. You will still see React if you open the code.
Cursor: Free includes limited Agent and Chat, plus Tab completions on Cursor's own models. Cursor does not publish a request count. v0: 7 messages a day, plus a credit offer that depends on the account. New signups under the one-time offer get $5 once. Existing free users may still have $5 a month. Check billing settings.
