Pick Cursor Free if…
you're evaluating the editor and a capped number of agent and chat requests covers you.
Since October 2026 Cursor is sold inside X's unified subscription, so Plus is less a coding plan than an entry ticket to the Grok bundle. It includes Cursor, but only with Grok models — Claude and GPT aren't part of it.
Stay on Free if you're trying Cursor and limited agent and chat requests are enough. Take Plus ($8/mo) if you want the Grok apps and API alongside the editor and are fine coding with Grok models only. If you need Claude or GPT, look at Premium ($30/mo) instead.

Plus is Grok-only inside Cursor. Claude and GPT appear only from Premium up, and even there they're billed separately at API list price. If your workflow depends on those models, Plus won't get you there.
