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.
Saw that video when it came out. Good stuff, luckily they already have a big enough audience with a revenue stream to make commitments to continue to pay people to make content, but their warning is real.
This @Damo-VIBECMS-CEO goes to show that the mediocre that can’t create or communicate effectively will stand on the shoulders of AI and say absolutely nothing with arrogance. All of his responses seem AI generated because of the forced wit and unclear remarks. 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 in an unnecessarily confusing way. What is the point of a forum if you are just going to copy paste AI slop responses. Is it really that hard to form some clear thought out sentences? Don’t you talk to real people in everyday life. Just talk like that here.
@MidnightOak I’m right here Oaky, you don’t have to talk about me in third person
Again, that cringe video IS generated by AI, and it IS being used to make money from AI generated cringe products
Is this an “AI Slop” response? You think? I would think this forum is not a place for hard trolling and more a place for community and creativity. That’s all I have to say on this matter, I refuse to feed the trolls.
I doubt that video is AI. It’s the same quality of videos they’ve been making for years, but they could be lying about not using AI. I do think some people will be willing to pay extra for non AI content, but idk how people will prove it, like that video.
“The path to AI voice generation started in the early 1960s when the first voice synthesizer was introduced, followed by the launch of the first text-to-speech program. More affordable and accessible text-to-speech software was launched in the 1980s and 1990s.”
I went through a similar experience. I was originally on the $192 annual plan. After some time, I upgraded to the $60/month plan for one month. However, once that month ended, not only did my $60 plan expire, but my original annual membership completely disappeared—I was downgraded to a free user!
It wasn’t until I emailed Cursor support and followed up that they finally added $112 in credit to my account. I have no idea how they calculated that amount, but it’s clearly far less than the compensation I should have received.
tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video
