Cursor has merged into the new 'The X Subscription' under SpaceX, eliminating bundled quotas for third-party models like Claude and GPT in favor of pay-as-you-go API pricing. While existing legacy plans remain accessible for now, users heavily reliant on non-Grok models face significantly higher costs if they switch to the new unified subscription tiers.

    • New subscription tiers (Plus/Premium/Super/Ultra) only bundle quotas for Grok and self-developed Composer models; third-party models like Claude/GPT require separate pay-as-you-go API fees.
    • Legacy Pro/Pro Plus/Ultra plans are not forcibly migrated but have been removed from the public pricing page, with no guarantee of long-term availability or ability to switch back.
    • Heavy agentic coding users typically consume $60-$100/month in third-party model quotas under old plans, which becomes pure incremental cost upon switching to the new structure.
