$60 is too limited, $200 is too much — we need a $100 plan

Describe the request

Friends,

There are many serious individual users and power users here — people actively building projects, launching products, and using Cursor daily.

The problem is simple:
Why does the pricing jump directly from $60 to $200?

For many of us:

  • $60 is no longer enough for our usage
  • $200 is too expensive to justify

We are not casual users.
We are active builders, developers, and even business owners.

There are many AI tools out there, but we chose Cursor because we saw the difference in quality. That’s why we are here.

However, this pricing gap is a real issue.

Personally, I have recommended Cursor to many people — including business owners and heavy individual users. Many of them face the same problem.

A $100/month plan would be the perfect balance.

If this gap remains, many users will eventually be forced to look for alternatives — not because they want to, but because they have to.

I believe this would benefit both users and Cursor:

  • Better user retention
  • Higher adoption among power users
  • Increased long-term revenue

Am I wrong?

If you feel the same, please support this post by upvoting so the Cursor team can clearly see how many users are affected.

I’m already hitting limits on Pro+ but can’t justify Ultra.

A $100 plan would be an instant upgrade for many users like me.

I feel like many people are building serious things but not sharing enough.

You can just pay an extra $40-80 pay-per-use on top :eyes:

I already understand this, but it still doesn’t feel right.

In my opinion, the jump from $60 to $200 isn’t reasonable.

For example, Claude already has a $100 subscription, and with Claude Code you can handle pretty much everything. On top of that, the quality is excellent since it includes Opus.

That’s why I think having a mid-tier pricing option like this would make much more sense.

Am I the only one who thinks this way?

  1. $20 is needed to try it out
  2. $60 is needed for a hobby project
  3. $200 is needed for real work
  4. Some people ask for a double Ultra, because even $200 isn’t enough for a month of full-time work.

That’s partially true, but not everyone uses Cursor all day.

Some people work full-time in a different job during the day and use Cursor in the evenings to build their own projects as a side activity.

So there isn’t just one type of user who is constantly coding all day.

That’s why I believe the system should be designed in a fair way that works for different types of users and usage patterns.

I absolutely second the motion. Doing more dev work at home, but only after work is over… a $100 plan would be great. And I’m spoiled, because I have a fat spend budget at work during the day.

11

It doesn’t work like that for plans though… you only need to look at the $20 and $60 plans…

$20 → $20 API and composer
$60 → $70 API and more composer

$20 and $40 popup, gives you ‘only’ $60 and less composer usage. Effectively you are throwing $10 away every month

A $100 plan could likely be somewhere between $120-150 of API usage

Surprised Cursor hasn’t added a $100 plan yet. The jump from $60 to $200 feels like greed, honestly. I’ve ended up paying Claude extra to bridge the gap instead. Their tiered pricing feels more thought-through, like they’re actually paying attention to how different users spend, instead of forcing everyone into “barely enough” or “way more than I need.” That kind of granularity feels more user-aware and user friendly and leaves customers feeling like the company cares about their pockets, not just the bottom line. With the Musk acquisition in the works, I hope pricing doesn’t drift further from what users actually need.

Describe the request

Hello Cursor Team,

I’m a regular Cursor user and usually subscribe to the Pro+ plan.

I previously tried the Ultra plan, but for my usage it was more capacity than I needed. On the other hand, Pro+ is often not enough for me — I usually need about 1.5x the Pro+ usage, but not as much as Ultra.

Currently, the jump from Pro+ at $60/month to Ultra at $200/month feels too large. I would really appreciate it if you could consider adding an intermediate plan between Pro+ and Ultra, perhaps around the $100–120/month range.

I think this kind of plan would be very useful for individual developers and serious users who need more than Pro+, but cannot fully justify Ultra.

Thank you for considering this feedback. I really enjoy using Cursor and would be happy to continue using it with a plan that better fits my usage.

1dB jump is 3X.
2X is too close and requires more steps.
3 plans are 10X apart, covering a large market match.

Why don’t you buy TWO 60$ plans?

Personally I think ANYTHING below 2k a month is hobby/playpen/sampling pricing. When this thing can replace your co-worker, at least 5X-10X more productive than yourself, and it costs 10% of a discount coder wage? Are you not awake? A fast, precise, thorough, automated, genius level co-worker that costs less than you, works more hours and doesn’t need things like sleep and breaks?

I bet we’ll get a $100 plan pretty soon… it’ll just replace the $60 plan :slight_smile:

Still waiting on this. It seems like a “no-brainer” when users can resort to two Pro Plus plans or adding a side $20 Pro sub and switch over… I am on Pro+ annual, upgrading to Ultra is a huge one-off expense; I’d be better off just adding a second account…

IMO, a sensible move that also satisfies those wanting more ultra would be making the tiers work as packs. Let a user stack up to a cap (to avoid abuse), with the bigger packs retaining their value proposition (e.g. $60 > $20 x 3)

Then those who find Pro+ not enough can sub $60 + $20; or $60 x2. Uitra users can up to $260, $400, or beyond.

This basically recreates the ‘multiple account workaround’ as a supported option. Keep 'API top-ups around as a nice backup when you need a small reserve

22

Any updates regarding this? $100 is the sweet spot for us, please look into it.

I’d subscribe to this immediately. My usage sits between Pro+ and Ultra. I’m specifically asking for a distinct $100 fixed-price subscription with predictable limits—not extra usage credits or on-demand billing on top of Pro+. Cursor’s own documentation says daily Agent users typically need $60–$100 per month, so this seems like a clear gap in the current plans.
