The limitation that matters

The free allowance is unpublished and limited; cloud agents and access to frontier models require Pro.

Cursor describes Hobby usage only as limited and does not publish a stable numeric allowance on its current pricing page. Pro extends Agent limits and supports on-demand usage billed after included model usage is consumed.

Plan details can change. A source check confirms published information; it is not a hands-on quality review or a guarantee that the plan fits every project.
