Subscription versus your own API key
This compares two ways of working the same way — in an IDE or CLI, where BYOK tools make a direct API key a real option. It is not a claim that subscriptions are cheaper than the API in general.

Usage terms
Quoted from the vendor's own terms. We do not give legal advice.
Cursor's Terms of Service contain no clause expressly authorizing programmatic or API access, and Cursor exposes no API endpoint. The nearest applicable restrictions are §1.5(viii), which prohibits users from "harvest, scrape, or extract data from the Service", and §1.5(iii), "rent, lease, lend, or sell the Service". Read as: the terms do not explicitly authorize it.
