We want to know whether two developers can use one Cursor Pro account to work on the same project, one handling frontend and the other backend

Hi Cursor team,

We are two co-founders building a SaaS product together.
One of us works mainly on the frontend (React) and the other works on the backend (Spring Boot / Java).

We wanted to ask:

Is it allowed and technically recommended for two developers to use one shared Cursor Pro account to work on the same codebase (frontend and backend separately), or does Cursor require one Pro account per developer for proper context, performance, and policy compliance?

We want to make sure we follow best practices and do not break any usage policies.

Thank you!

How would one account be best practice ?

You are planning on building a SaaS tho i suppose you exceed the usual plans limits anyway at which point two accounts would financially even be a little bit more attractive.

No?

We’re actually building a real SaaS product as two technical co-founders (one frontend, one backend). Since Cursor deeply understands the whole codebase and personal editing patterns, we prefer one account per developer to keep context clean, avoid refactor conflicts, and move faster long-term.

At $20 per person it’s still far cheaper than losing velocity or introducing subtle bugs - so for us, two accounts is the best-practice choice.

if i understand you correct, its basically just using the same context-file ?

hi @husenahmad and thank you for your post.

Usage of the same account by more than one developer may result in your account being flagged and is discouraged.
