20USD of Other Models usage / month
›The vendor's own wording
The plan table lists Pro at "$20/mo" against a column headed "Included Other Models usage" reading "$20". On running out: "Every plan includes a set amount of model usage. On-demand usage allows you to continue using models after your included amount is consumed, billed in arrears."Open the source page

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 restriction is §1.5(viii), which prohibits users from "harvest, scrape, or extract data from the Service". Read as: the terms do not explicitly authorize it.
