What is Cursor?
Cursor provides a coding workspace with agent-driven changes and contextual assistance. Use it with a repository you can inspect, review proposed edits and run the project’s checks before accepting a result.
If your team already uses a supported IDE and mainly wants inline suggestions, compare that workflow with GitHub Copilot.
Official website: cursor.comHow do you check the limits on your Cursor account?
Start with the plan name shown for your account. Cursor’s public Free plan lists limited Agent and Chat usage. The usage docs distinguish that plan family from legacy accounts such as Hobby, so compare the documentation for the plan you actually use.
- Try one question about a known file, then check account usage before requesting a repo-wide change.
- Check how the selected model is billed before using a paid model or extra usage. The public Free plan does not list a universal request count.
Cursor: free features & limits
What's free: Use limited coding-agent and chat requests in Cursor's Free plan.
Limits: Free AI usage is limited; paid models and extra usage may be billed separately. No fixed unlimited allowance is stated.
