Cursor

Cursor is an AI-first code editor built by Anysphere as a fork of VS Code, embedding AI at every layer of the coding workflow rather than as a plugin. On June 16, 2026, SpaceX announced a definitive agreement to acquire Anysphere for $60 billion in an all-stock transaction, making it the largest venture-backed startup acquisition on record. The deal, expected to close in Q3 2026 pending regulatory approval, follows SpaceX's record $75 billion Nasdaq IPO. Cursor will become a wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceX, with CEO Michael Truell confirming the acquisition and joint AI model training already underway with SpaceX's xAI division. Cursor is used by over 5 million developers, with more than half of Fortune 500 companies deploying it according to Anysphere's disclosures. The company reached $100M ARR in January 2025, $500M by June 2025, $1B by November 2025, and $2B by February 2026. It surpassed $4B ARR by early June 2026 per company data shared with Reuters, making it the fastest-scaling B2B software company on record. Enterprise customers account for approximately $2.6B of that total. Cursor integrates at read-write codebase level: it indexes entire repositories, reads across all files, and writes directly to the codebase. GitHub integration enables PR workflow automation. MCP server support connects to any external tool via the Model Context Protocol, making the integration surface extensible beyond a predefined list. The Cursor SDK allows teams to build programmatic agents deployable from CI/CD pipelines, internal tools, and custom workflows. Agent development environments (Docker-based, Cursor 3.4, May 13, 2026) provide multi-repo support with secrets scoping, egress controls, and audit logs for running fleets of cloud agents. Microsoft Teams integration (May 11, 2026) enables @mention-based task delegation from Teams channels. Named integration gaps: no native Jira or Linear connector without MCP configuration, no native CRM integrations, no GUI-based workflow builder for non-technical users, and no air-gapped or on-premise deployment option below Enterprise. Hobby (Free): No credit card required, limited agent requests, limited tab completions. Individual: $20/month monthly ($16/month annual, 20% savings), with Pro, Pro+, and Ultra sub-tiers for progressively higher model limits. Teams: $40/user/month with Standard and Premium sub-tiers. Teams includes everything in Individual plus centralized billing, Team marketplace for internal rules, skills, and plugins, agentic code reviews with Bugbot, cloud agents and automations with shared team context, usage analytics, team-wide privacy mode, and SAML/OIDC SSO. Enterprise: custom pricing with pooled usage, invoice/PO billing, SCIM seat management, repository/model/MCP access controls, auto-run/browser/network controls, audit logs, AI code tracking API, and priority support. Bugbot is included in Teams; on Individual it runs on usage-based billing. Expensive model usage (Claude Opus, GPT-4o) depletes included credits faster than standard models. Cursor is not suited for teams with strict data-residency requirements outside the Enterprise plan: all AI requests route through Cursor's cloud infrastructure even when using your own API keys. For fully on-premise AI coding with local model hosting, Sourcegraph Cody (custom pricing) supports air-gapped deployments. For teams already invested in JetBrains IDEs, JetBrains AI Assistant ($10/month on top of existing JetBrains licenses) preserves the native IntelliJ/PyCharm/WebStorm environment. For terminal-first git-native workflows without an IDE layer, Claude Code (usage-based at Anthropic API rates) offers deeper git integration. For GitHub-native AI coding without switching editors, GitHub Copilot ($10/month individual, $19/user/month Business) provides tighter native GitHub integration. As of Q3 2026, Cursor is the leading standalone AI-first coding IDE with over 5 million developers. Version 3.9 (June 29, 2026) launched the Cursor iOS app in public beta on all paid plans, enabling developers to launch and manage cloud agents from their phone with voice input and Remote Control for directing local sessions remotely. Version 3.8 (June 18, 2026) expanded Cursor Automations with the /automate skill for creating always-on automated workflows, new GitHub and Slack triggers, and computer use support. Version 3.7 (June 17, 2026) introduced cloud environment setup, where the agent configures a dev environment in the cloud in under 10 minutes with reusable snapshots. Version 3.7 also added cloud subagents via /in-cloud for spinning up parallel cloud agents on their own VMs and branches. Version 3.6 (May 29, 2026) introduced Auto-review Run Mode for longer autonomous runs with fewer approval prompts. Version 3.5 (May 20, 2026) added Shared Canvases: interactive artifacts created by agents and shareable across the team. Composer 2.5 (May 19, 2026) is Cursor's proprietary model trained on 25x more synthetic tasks than its predecessor, optimized for long-horizon agentic coding. Team MCP marketplaces launched June 30, 2026, allowing admins to configure and distribute MCP servers across cloud agents, IDE, and CLI. The pending SpaceX acquisition introduces uncertainty around Cursor's current model-agnostic approach, as SpaceX's xAI division may push toward prioritizing Grok models, though no changes to third-party model access have been announced.
