Details
- Cursor launched Cursor Start, a new plan for developers in India priced at ₹649 per month, with tax included and payment via UPI, credit card, or debit card.
- The plan is aimed at India’s developer community, which Cursor says has grown to more than 3 million users and is now its third-largest market globally.
- Cursor Start includes generous access to Grok 4.5 and Composer, more agent requests than the Free plan, always-on cloud agents, Cursor for iOS, and support for plugins, MCP servers, hooks, and skills.
- The new tier sits between Free and Pro, with Free offering limited local agent requests and Pro covering the full model lineup plus advanced features such as Bugbot, Auto mode, Automations, and the Cursor SDK.
- Cursor says India users can upgrade from the dashboard or sign up directly, making the plan available immediately through its pricing and onboarding flow.
Impact
Cursor’s India-specific pricing and UPI support lower adoption friction in a market with a large, active developer base and heavy agent usage. The move reinforces a broader shift toward localized AI coding plans, with likely benefits for conversion among students, startups, and power users while creating pressure on competing dev tools to offer region-specific pricing.
