A developer who clicks Pricing on cursor.com now compares plans on rows like "X Money APY 6.00% with Direct Deposit", "Get paid to post", "Reply boost" and "Less timeline ads", next to cloud agents, Bugbot and SSO. The $8 Plus plan includes only Grok models and the FAQ recommends it "for social creators", while third-party models cost extra at API list price. Copilot, Claude Code and Devin all sell a single coding story. The new Lifecycle Growth Manager owns "converting them to paid" across Grok, X and Cursor; for Cursor's own visitors the page makes that harder.

Why it works
Show a "Cursor for developers" view by default when visitors come from cursor.com or the app: plans described by coding outcomes (agent usage, cloud agents, Bugbot reviews, Origin hosting, which models are included and what third-party models cost), a short "Which plan for how much agent work?" guide, and one collapsed row "Also includes X and Grok benefits". Keep the full suite comparison one click away. A/B test it against the current page on paid-plan starts and Teams inquiries.
Visitors buy faster when the page answers their own question first. A developer deciding between Cursor and a rival needs model access and agent limits, not timeline features, and the test shows exactly how much the mixed table costs or gains.

Risks and how to handle them

Keep every benefit on the page; change only the order and the default view.
Two pricing views confuse support
Same prices and plan names in both views.

- Your websitePricing page (October 22, 2026): Free $0 ("Post, reply, and follow"), Plus $8 ("Premium checkmark", "Less timeline ads", "*Only Grok models are available on this plan"), Premium $30 ("Most popular"), Super $100 and Ultra $200; third-party models in Cursor are billed "at API list price". The plan comparison mixes coding features (cloud agents, Bugbot reviews, Origin code hosting, SSO, audit logs) with X features such as "X Money APY 6.00% with Direct Deposit", cashback, "Get paid to post", "Reply boost", bookmark folders and video downloads. The FAQ says "Plus is recommended for social creators with limited AI usage".Source
