Cursor launches Start plan in India for ₹649 per month

Cursor launched Cursor Start, a new individual plan for developers in India priced at ₹649 per month (tax included), offering expanded access to Grok 4.5 and Composer alongside more agent requests than the Free plan. The plan, which supports UPI, credit card, and debit card payments, follows a tripling of Cursor's Indian user base to over three million developers, making India its third-largest market. Cursor positions Start as a response to repeated requests for local-market pricing and UPI support from students, founders, engineers, and designers.

Cursor has launched Cursor Start, a new individual plan built for developers in India. Available now for ₹649 per month, tax included, it brings expanded access to Grok 4.5 and Composer alongside more agent requests than the Free plan. Billing is monthly in Indian rupees, and customers can pay by UPI, credit card, or debit card. The plan covers Cursor across desktop, web, iOS, and the command line. Subscribers can use Grok 4.5, which Cursor describes as its most powerful model, and Composer, its most price-efficient coding model. Start also includes always-on cloud agents that can run longer jobs, build and test software, and open pull requests while the developer continues other work. From Cursor for iOS, users can launch agents or control existing ones before returning to the same work on desktop. Plugins, MCP servers, hooks, and skills can extend the setup across a broader development workflow. Start sits between Cursor's Free and Pro tiers. Free provides Composer and a limited monthly allowance of local agent requests without payment. Pro adds every major model, including advanced systems from other labs, as well as Bugbot, Auto mode, Automations, the Cursor SDK, and on-demand usage beyond included limits. Start instead targets routine daily building with a lower local price and a narrower model selection. The India focus follows rapid growth for Cursor in the country. Cursor says its Indian user base tripled over the past year to more than three million developers, making India its third-largest market. It also reports that India has more power users than any other market and the highest number of agent requests per developer. The company positions Start as a response to repeated requests for local-market pricing and UPI support from students, founders, engineers, and designers. Existing Free users in India can upgrade through the Cursor dashboard. New users can select Start during signup. The move gives Cursor a region-specific tier for a market already driving unusually heavy agent use, while leaving Pro as the step up for developers who need a wider model catalog and additional automation tools.
