Tips & Things to Watch For
All Fees Are Non-Refundable
CriticalAccording to the Terms of Service, all fees are non-refundable except as required by law. There is no pro-rated refund for partial months if you cancel mid-cycle. Your access continues until the end of the paid period.
Failed Payment Results in Account Deletion
CriticalIf your payment method is no longer valid when a renewal fee is due, Cursor reserves the right to delete your account and all associated information without liability. Keep payment methods updated to avoid losing your data and settings.
Pro+ Is 'Recommended' But 3x Price of Pro
Pro TipThe Pro+ plan at $60/month is marked as 'Recommended' but costs 3x the base Pro plan ($20). The main benefit is 3x usage multiplier on AI models. Most users likely don't need this unless they're extremely heavy users. Don't be swayed by the 'Recommended' label.
Downgrade to Free Hobby Plan Before Canceling
Pro TipBefore fully canceling your account, you can downgrade to the free Hobby plan to maintain your account data and history. This preserves your account, cursor rules, and settings without paying, unlike a full deletion which may occur if payment fails.
