Team Premium not available at checkout — do I need to pay $40 Standard first, and will upgrade be prorated?

I’m trying to subscribe to a Team Premium seat, but I’m stuck at the initial Team creation checkout.

It is now after July 1, 2026, and I understand from previous staff replies that Premium should be available as a per-seat tier in seat management: Standard is $40/seat/month and Premium is $120/seat/month. However, when I try to create a new Team, I only see the $40 Standard Teams checkout.

The confusing part is that I cannot access the Team dashboard or seat management before paying for the $40 Standard seat. So I’m not sure what the correct flow is.

My concern is:

If I pay $40 for Standard just to create the Team, and then Premium still does not appear in seat management, am I stuck waiting one billing cycle?

If Premium does appear after creating the Team, will the upgrade be prorated so I only pay the difference toward the $120 Premium seat?

Or could I end up paying $40 for Standard plus another full $120 for Premium in the same month?

I’m very hesitant to proceed because the checkout does not clearly show Premium before payment, and I don’t want to accidentally pay for the wrong tier or get locked into Standard for a month.

Can someone from Cursor confirm the exact flow for a new Team user who wants to subscribe directly to Premium? Ideally, Premium should be selectable during Team creation, or the checkout should clearly explain that upgrading immediately after creation is prorated.

indeed, I tried it on my own as a non team member, and if no team is created, only the stardard plan option appears,

this link indeed refer to July 1st, I will ping the team about it for informations.

hey @astronaut1969, I go answers from the team, here are their answer :

Create-team checkout only starts you on Standard ($40/mo or $32/mo yearly). Premium isn’t offered on that page by design.

After the team exists:

  1. Go to https://cursor.com/dashboard?tab=members

  2. Open the three-dot menu next to the seat/member

  3. Upgrade to Premium ($120/mo, or $96/mo yearly - 5x Standard usage)

That upgrade is prorated, so you only pay the Standard→Premium difference for the rest of the cycle (not Standard + a full second Premium charge). Docs: Team Pricing | Cursor Docs

If Premium doesn’t show in Members after you create the team, ping here and we will look into it.
