OpenRouter everything?

Hey, this isn’t a bug, it’s expected behavior. Using your own API keys (BYOK), including OpenRouter, requires a Pro subscription. On the Free plan, only Auto mode is available.

More details in this thread: Cursor Free Plan: How to choose Gemini model with BYO API Key?

Options:

  • Upgrade to Pro ($20/mo). Then OpenRouter and other BYOK keys will work.
  • Stay on Free and use the built-in free models via Auto mode.

Let me know if you’ve got any questions.
