Use cases
Refactor code with natural language
Select a function and prompt Cursor in plain English to refactor, rename, or restructure it inline without leaving the editor.
Explore unfamiliar codebases
Chat with the full codebase to ask how modules connect, locate relevant files, and get explanations of legacy code before making changes.
Speed up feature development
Use multi-line, context-aware autocomplete to scaffold new functions and components that follow the project's existing patterns.
Generate terminal commands
Describe a task in natural language and have Cursor produce or explain the corresponding shell command, reducing context switching.

Years in this space
I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is inline code edits via natural language prompts — handled better than most — and supports multiple frontier LLMs. Worth the time if this is your use case.
Skeptical, then convinced
I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on multi-line predictive autocomplete, and built on VS Code, so the learning curve is minimal caught me off guard. Cloud-based AI raises code privacy considerations is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.
Compared a few options
Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: vS Code extension and keybinding compatibility and natural language refactors and inline edits. Where it lags: paid plan needed for heavy usage of top models. On balance the feature set — especially multi-line predictive autocomplete — justifies the 4 stars for our use case.

Does the job
Pretty happy overall. Inline code edits via natural language prompts just works and supports multiple frontier LLMs. Suggestions sometimes need careful review can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.
Use it every day
Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Terminal command generation and explanation is exactly what I needed, and built on VS Code, so the learning curve is minimal. I do wish cloud-based AI raises code privacy considerations, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
Q&A
What is the right plan for me?
We recommend Pro+ for daily agent users, and Ultra for agent power users. The Teams plan is recommended for professionals collaborating with others, and larger organizations that need invoicing, pooled usage, or advanced security should choose Enterprise.
Asked by Ahmed Saleh · May 27, 2026
What are my payment options?
Self-serve plans support all major credit and debit cards. For invoice-based billing and wire transfers, please contact us to discuss the Enterprise plan.
Asked by Grzegorz Lewandowski · May 16, 2026
How does usage-based pricing work?
Every plan includes a set amount of model usage. On-demand usage allows you to continue using models after your included amount is consumed, billed in arrears. See our docs for more details.
