Cursor has revamped its subscription model, removing third-party model quotas from new plans. While Premium tiers and above can still access third-party models, usage must now be paid separately at API list rates. Existing subscribers may choose to keep their legacy plans.
Latest turnCursor has changed its subscription plans so third-party model usage is no longer bundled: it is still available on Premium ($30) and above, but is billed separately at API list prices through top-ups. The $200/month Ultra plan previously included roughly $500 in third-party credits, making it one of the most generous ways to use Claude; existing subscribers can keep their current plans.
