Free
What's included
Quick Verdict
Best for developers evaluating Cursor's IDE agent before upgrading. Limited completions and agent requests make it unsuitable for daily work, but the trial experience accurately reflects the paid product's core flow.

Strengths & Trade-offs
What it does well
- Zero-cost access to Cursor Tab completions and Agent, genuine evaluation experience, not a dumbed-down demo
- Multi-model support even at free tier, test with Claude, GPT, and Gemini models
- Purpose-built coding IDE with agent integration, not a general assistant repurposed for code
Where it falls short
- Hard agent request cap, Hobby tier runs out quickly under real coding workloads
- No Cloud Agents or Bugbot, background and PR-review agents require paid tier
- No overage path, once limits hit, upgrade is the only option with no credit extension
