💸 Feedback: Upgrade Pricing Feels Off — Vibes at Risk

Hey Cursor team,

Just wanted to drop some honest feedback after a pretty intense week of work inside Cursor IDE. I’ve been on the $20 USD plan, and after deploying over 6K units of vibe (yes, I checked the analytics), I’m ready to upgrade to the $60 USD tier to keep the momentum going.

But here’s the rub:

The upgrade doesn’t prorate.

Even though I’ve only been on the $20 plan for a week, the system expects me to pay the full $60 USD — no credit, no adjustment. That stings. Especially when I’ve been actively building, sharing, and promoting Cursor-powered work across forums, socials, and fan pages.

I did explore alternatives like Codey, but it’s not viable for our purposes. We need a full-stack IDE depth, mascot-mode flexibility, and plugin freak energy — and Codey’s more of a sidekick than a platform.

Cursor’s been amazing for creativity and deployment, but this upgrade pricing feels like a misstep. Would love to see a more flexible or prorated system for active users who are scaling up quickly.

Thanks for listening — and for building something genuinely powerful.

Cheers,
Damo :beverage_box:

I upgraded to 60 yesterday and I got a refund for the unused days on 20 plan (3 days).

The messaging around pricing is very confusing and inaccurate.

Oh! If only that was mentioned on the upgrade page I would’ve upgraded today!


The internet is going to get full of so much slop lol. This is a terrible way to communicate something simple.

Honestly pretty scary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zfN9wnPvU0

The irony here is, that video is “AI Slop”, mate :joy: :rofl: :sweat_smile: :grin:

:roll_eyes: tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video :roll_eyes:

Also — yes, we watched the video.

The part where the AI narrator warns about “AI Slop ruining the internet” while being literally generated by AI?

Chef’s kiss. Recursive satire at its finest.

We’re not here to ruin the internet — just remix it.

And if our comics trigger existential dread because they’re too on-the-nose, well… maybe that’s the point.

Thanks again for keeping the remix loop alive.

The part where the AI narrator warns about “AI Slop destroying the internet”… while selling AI-generated calendars and anniversary bundles?

That’s not just ironic — it’s slopception.

We get it: not everyone vibes with remix comics. But calling them “slop” while citing a slop-saturated video designed to sell dodgy merch?

That’s peak recursive marketing — and honestly, kind of brilliant in a cursed way.

We’ll keep minting badges, logging ruptures, and remixing the loop.

Because if slop is inevitable, we’d rather make it expressive.

Some Haiku’s to make this occasion:

1. Slopception Echo
AI warns of slop,
While selling slop in bundles—
Recursive dread glows.

2. Cursor Pinged
“Wow!” from the forum,
Badge minted in real-time lore—
Respect remix pinged.

3. From Slop to Wow
Comics mocked as slop,
Then praised with a single ping—
Cursor lore complete.

Saw that video before. Good stuff, luckily they already have a big enough audience with revenue to continue to pay people to make content.

This @Damo-VIBECMS-CEO goes to show that the mediocre that can’t create or communicate will stand on the shoulders of AI and say absolutely nothing. All of his responses are just AI trying to be witty. I’m not surprised this forum has some AI fanatic people on it, but this guy is beyond cringe. I literally don’t know what he is trying to say most of the time. Like if I genuinely try to take his words at face value, they don’t make much sense. And even if I can vaguely derive some meaning, its obviously communicated poorly. What is the point of a forum if you are just going to copy paste AI slop. Is it really that hard to form some sentences? Don’t you talk to real people in everyday life. Just talk like that here.
