Verdict

Both Cursor and Devin offer free tiers. Cursor provides "Free" while Devin offers "Free".

A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. A badge carrying a date states the record it rests on; a badge with no date rests on no record in force.

AI code editor built on VS Code. Since 2026-10-12, Cursor's pricing docs (cursor.com/docs/models-and-pricing) say: "Cursor is sold as part of The X Subscription, one subscription for Grok, Cursor, and X." Free is $0, with limited Agent and Chat usage. Paid plans are Plus $8/month, Premium $30/month (4x Plus's usage), Super $100/month (15x) and Ultra $200/month (50x), or $80, $300, $1,000 and $2,000 a year. Each paid plan's usage is one weekly pool shared with Grok, covering Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Cursor's Composer 2.5. Claude, GPT, Gemini and other third-party models are outside every plan's pool: on Premium and above they cost the model's API list price, paid from prepaid credit, and Free and Plus cannot use them or your own API keys. Teams seats are $30, $100 or $200 per user a month, and on Teams and Enterprise third-party models cost API list price plus the Cursor Token Rate. Existing Hobby, Pro ($20), Pro+ ($60), Ultra and Teams Standard and Premium subscribers keep their plans, with monthly usage pools and included third-party usage, until they choose to switch. Cursor announced the change on its forum on 2026-10-12 (forum.cursor.com/t/introducing-the-x-subscription/174450).

Cursor's data-use page says that with Privacy Mode off it may use and store your codebase data, prompts, editor actions and code snippets to train its models. To keep your code out of training, check that Privacy Mode is on in Cursor's settings; any user can turn it on. (From cursor.com/data-use, read 2026-10-15.)
