| Value for money Cursor is one of the strongest AI coding environments for developers who want high-quality completion and agent workflows inside a familiar editor. Pro suits most individuals, Pro+ fits daily agent users and Ultra targets power users. Teams Standard is the normal collaboration plan; Premium improves predictability for heavy users. The main drawback is that actual cost depends on model choice and usage. |
20% | 8.3/10 | 1.66 | |
| Features and capability depth Agentic code editing; Fast Tab completion |
20% | 9.5/10 | 1.90 | |
| Output quality and reliability ToolLions scores Cursor 8.9/10 for coding quality, model choice, agent workflows, APIs, CLI and privacy controls. Complex usage billing and expensive heavy-user tiers reduce the score. |
20% | 9.1/10 | 1.82 | |
| Privacy and security Privacy Mode is available on Free and paid plans. When enabled, Cursor says neither Cursor nor model providers train on code data. Cursor states that it is SOC 2 certified and publishes account deletion and vulnerability-reporting processes. |
15% | 8.8/10 | 1.32 | |
| Support and documentation Cursor provides official documentation, help channels and email support. Teams and Enterprise add administration and higher support levels. |
