ABOUT CURSOR

Cursor tiers on agent usage rather than features, which makes the right plan a question of how heavily you run the agent - the vendor recommends Pro+ for daily use and Ultra for power users. Plan names are verified from the pricing page but the figures render client-side and were not present in the fetched markup, so no prices are recorded. This record is flagged needs_review until they are confirmed.

OVERVIEW

Who is it for?
Working developers who want an agent inside the editor rather than in a browser tab beside it.
Problem
Copying code into a chat window loses the context an agent needs, and pasting the answer back loses the surrounding structure.
Solution
Cursor is a full editor built on VS Code with an agent that reads and edits across the codebase directly, so existing extensions and keybindings still work. Tiers ladder by agent usage limits, from Free through Pro, Pro+ and Ultra, with Teams adding pooled usage and privacy controls.
What makes it unique
Being the editor rather than a plugin, which is what lets the agent operate on the whole project instead of the current selection.
