What is Cursor?
Cursor is built for developers who want AI assistance to work across an entire repository rather than only completing isolated lines. It can index project context, explain unfamiliar code, propose multi-file changes, run commands, review errors, and help implement features from a higher-level request.
The Pro plan is most relevant to individual developers using agents regularly. Annual billing lowers the effective monthly price, but model usage, on-demand charges, privacy settings, and team administration should still be compared before committing for a year.
