Just some feedback for the Cursor team, but bugbot pricing is too expensive. We liked it as a feature, but here’s why it doesn’t work:
- You have to pay for EVERY dev. We only want it on for specific members on the team. This ends up being $80/dev/mo for us.
- It’s $40 base/mo/user. This is more expensive than every platform we use except for cursor… github, vercel, aws, clerk, supabase.
- The value added was “ok”. A couple members on the team found moderate value, a couple found slight value. Because Cursor tends to already write bug free code, it kind of already covers itself on the bug front (for the most part).
- We don’t need this for every PR. 70-80% of our PRs are tiny. We don’t need to run it for these, mainly just the large ones w/ lots of code, new features, or complex fullstack setup.
Based off of the above, we would pay $400/mo as an org for 5 developers to use it on about 40-50-ish PRs. This ends up being $5/PR for us.
We would like “pay as you go pricing”. $12-15/mo/dev (that we turn it on for) and then a certain number of PR runs is reasonable and competitive w/ the market. This is more in line w/ how software is currently priced. I think you’re going to get much more usage out of it by doing something like this.
We LOVE the baseline Cursor product and while our most expensive software, it’s worth it for the team. For bugbot, we like the product, we just don’t like it for $400/mo for 5 developers at ~$5/PR.
