Cursor, an AI tool, has faced widespread criticism from its user community following recent changes to its subscription pricing model. The company introduced a new $200 per month Ultra plan and altered the existing $20 per month Pro plan, effectively removing the previously unlimited usage and replacing it with limited API-equivalent credits. Users report confusion over the new billing system, unexpected depletion of usage quotas, and additional charges for exceeding limits. This shift to full API pricing has led to dissatisfaction, with many users expressing frustration on platforms like Reddit and r/cursor. In contrast, competitors such as Claude Code offer more generous usage quotas, attracting users dissatisfied with Cursor's pricing. The backlash highlights the challenges AI product providers face in balancing pricing strategies with user expectations and cost structures.

The pricing of AI products really requires caution. Cursor has recently been scolded miserably Secretly changed the $20 unlimited quota to an extended quota, leaving only a $20 equivalent API credit, and the excess amount must be paid separately Moreover, after this change, it hasn't been changed before; it's durable in the future; the quota will be gone after a while Now a lot of people on Reddit are getting Cursor to refund their money
