What Cursor does
Coding agents plan, write and review code from a desktop editor, CLI, browser or Slack, and cloud agents can run tasks in parallel.
Cursor is a coding agent from Anysphere, Inc. You give it a task, and agents plan, write and review code while you decide direction. It is offered as a desktop editor, a command-line agent, a browser and phone interface for cloud agents, and as integrations such as Slack and GitHub pull request reviews.
The product pages describe agents that can run in parallel, cloud agents that build, test and demo work for you to review, subagents that explore a codebase, and a search feature called Instant Grep for large repositories. For complex jobs it asks clarifying questions and builds a plan first. It can run terminal commands in a sandbox by default, take @-mentions and images as context, and be extended with plugins, skills and MCP connections. Team rules let you teach it conventions. You can pick models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, SpaceXAI and Cursor.
Pricing starts with a Free plan at $0 per month with limited usage. Plus is $8 per month and covers Grok models only. Premium is $30 per month, Super is $100 and Ultra is $200, giving 4x, 15x and 50x the usage of Plus. Teams is listed at $30 +/user/month, and Enterprise is custom. Third-party models are billed separately by usage, and the allowance refreshes weekly.

Our take
Cursor suits developers and teams who want to delegate whole tasks to agents rather than only get inline suggestions, and who like switching between editor, terminal, Slack and browser. The tiered plans let an individual begin on the $0 Free plan and move up as agent use grows. It fits less well if you need predictable all-in costs: third-party models are billed separately, and usage is pooled and measured against Plus. The pricing page also mixes Grok and X features into the plan lists, which makes comparison harder. Only a macOS download is shown on the pages we read, and no trial is mentioned.
