Cursor Hobby: Pricing, Models & Limits (2026)

What it does well

• + Zero-cost access to Cursor Tab completions and Agent, genuine evaluation experience, not a dumbed-down demo
• + Cursor's own models (Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5, Composer 2.5) from the Cursor Models pool at no cost
• + Purpose-built coding IDE with agent integration, not a general assistant repurposed for code

Where it falls short

• − Hard agent request cap, Hobby tier runs out quickly under real coding workloads
• − No Cloud Agents or Bugbot, background and PR-review agents require paid tier
• − No overage path, once limits hit, upgrade is the only option with no credit extension
• − Legacy plan: new customers cannot sign up, the comparable current plan is Cursor Free
