Cursor is an AI-powered code editor and integrated development environment (IDE) built specifically for software developers. It combines a familiar coding interface with large language model assistance to help you write, refactor, navigate, and understand code faster. Cursor integrates with common programming languages and frameworks, supports inline AI suggestions and chat, and can work directly with your local files and repositories. The company is based in San Francisco, CA, and is accessible primarily through its desktop application and website at cursor.sh.
A Cursor charge typically appears on your bank or card statement when you pay for a Cursor subscription or upgrade from the free tier. Common reasons include starting a paid plan after a trial, renewing a monthly or annual subscription, adding additional seats for a team or business plan, or updating your billing period. Some users may also see temporary authorization holds when first adding a card or changing payment details—these are small, reversible test charges to verify your payment method.
If you don’t recognize a Cursor charge, start by signing in at cursor.sh and checking the Billing or Account section for active subscriptions, billing history, and invoices. Look for the charge date and amount on your statement and match it to Cursor receipts sent to your email (often from Stripe or a similar payment processor on behalf of Cursor). For help, you can typically reach Cursor via in-app support, their help or contact pages, or support email; provide the last 4 digits of the card, billing date, and amount so they can locate the payment. If you suspect a duplicate or incorrect charge, first contact Cursor support to request clarification or a refund before filing a dispute with your bank.

What Cursor subscription plans are available and how much do they cost?
Cursor offers a free tier with limited AI usage and additional paid plans that expand AI credits, context length, and team features. As of 2024, common options include an individual Pro-style plan (around $20/month) and higher-tier or team plans at higher monthly per-seat prices. Pricing can vary by region and over time, so the most accurate and current rates are listed on cursor.sh/pricing or within the app’s billing section.
Why do I see a recurring monthly charge from CURSOR or CURSOR.SH on my statement?
A recurring monthly Cursor charge usually indicates that you’re subscribed to a paid plan that renews automatically every billing cycle. Charges are typically processed on the same day each month (or year for annual plans), based on when you first upgraded from the free tier or started a trial that converted to paid. You can confirm this by logging into your Cursor account, going to Billing, and checking your renewal date and plan details.
How do I cancel or downgrade my Cursor subscription so I stop being charged?
To cancel or change your Cursor subscription, sign in at cursor.sh or through the app, go to your Account or Billing settings, and select the option to downgrade to the free tier or cancel your paid plan. After cancellation, you’ll usually retain access to paid features until the end of your current billing period, and then your account will revert to the free plan. Be sure to complete all steps and confirm the cancellation so that auto-renewal is turned off.
Why was I charged by Cursor after my free trial ended?
When you start a Cursor trial and enter a payment method, the subscription is set to auto-renew at the end of the trial unless you cancel beforehand. If you see a charge right after the trial, it likely means the trial converted to a standard paid plan on your renewal date. You can review trial and renewal details in your Billing page and, if you believe you were charged in error, contact Cursor support with the charge date and amount for review.
How can I request a refund for a Cursor charge I don’t recognize or no longer want?
If you believe you were incorrectly charged by Cursor, first log into your account to verify which plan you’re on and whether the subscription was active during the billing period. Then contact Cursor support (typically via in-app help or the contact/support email on cursor.sh), including the email tied to your account, the exact charge amount, date, and the last 4 digits of your card. Refunds are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are more likely when requested soon after the charge and before extensive paid usage during the billing period.
Why do I see a small $0–$2 pending charge from Cursor on my card?
A very small, often temporary amount (such as $0, $1, or $2) from Cursor is usually an authorization hold used by the payment processor to verify that your card is valid. This is not a real charge and should automatically disappear or be reversed within a few business days. If it remains in a pending or posted state for longer, contact your bank or Cursor support with a screenshot of the transaction so they can help clarify.
Can team or business plans cause multiple Cursor charges in the same month?
Yes. If you manage a team or business subscription, you may see higher or multiple charges when you add or remove seats, change plans, or align billing dates. Some adjustments (like prorated upgrades) can create mid-cycle charges in addition to your regular renewal. You can view a detailed breakdown of seat counts, prorations, and invoices in your Billing or Team settings within Cursor.
How do I check which email and account are associated with the Cursor charge I see?
Often, people have multiple work and personal emails and forget which one they used to sign up for Cursor. Try signing into cursor.sh with each possible email, then open the Billing or Subscription page to see if there’s an active paid plan that matches the charge date and amount. You can also search your inboxes for receipts from Cursor or its payment processor; if you still can’t locate the account, contact support with the transaction details so they can help identify the associated email.
