Two usage pools and on-demand charges
Current individual paid plans include two monthly pools: one for Cursor Models and another for third-party models. Model choice and task complexity affect consumption; unused usage does not roll over.
Privacy Mode and team controls
Privacy Mode can be enabled for an individual or enforced by a team administrator. Cursor says code data is not used for training by Cursor or model providers while it is enabled. Teams adds central billing, usage analytics, a team marketplace, SSO and other controls.
