OpenAI just got a problem no better model can fix. For $8 a month, Elon now sells his AI, an AI coding editor, and X Premium on one bill. Microsoft ran this exact play in 1995 and erased an 80% market leader in four years without ever building the better browser. The victim was Netscape. It owned the browser market, Microsoft made Internet Explorer free with every copy of Windows, and by 1999 Netscape was selling itself to AOL. Nobody ever found a counter to it. Today's version is buried in Cursor's reply, where almost nobody will scroll. Paid plans get twice the coding usage on Grok models, and third-party models move to API pricing "to make room for more Grok usage." Inside the most popular AI coding editor, that means same keystrokes, same tab-complete, one model subsidized by a $1.25…

Cursor
Cursor is now part of The X Subscription. Current Cursor subscribers can keep their plan or switch to The X Subscription. Paid plans share one usage pool across Cursor, Grok Build, and other Grok products, with twice the coding usage on Grok models as the equivalent Cursor plan.

One plan now covers Cursor, Grok, Grok Bot, and X. This is the biggest change to how Cursor is priced. If you've been with us since the early days, this will feel like a lot, so I'll walk you through it. First, every change is opt-in. If you do nothing, nothing happens. You can keep your current plan with the same benefits, behavior, and pricing, and still move between the current plans. New sign-ups and anyone upgrading from free Cursor go to the new plans. Here's what's different: 1. First-party usage For most users, Grok and Composer coding limits are at least double what the matching Cursor plan gives you today. We worked hard to make usage grow faster than price at each tier: Plus ($8/mo): our base plan Premium ($30/mo): 4x Plus usage Super ($100/mo): 15x Plus usage Ultra ($200/mo):…

cursor just got nerfed into oblivion but nobody is talking about it for some reason this new pricing model completely kills the usage allowance for third party models any non grok model (gpt, claude, etc) is billed as extra usage genuinely zero reason to pay for this sub now
