Official Cursor Membership FAQ

What are advanced models?

Advanced models are powerful AI engines like GPT-4, GPT-4o, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. As a Pro member, you get 500 fast uses of these models per month, with unlimited slow uses. Think of it as having a super assistant that occasionally needs to take a break.

What's the difference between fast and slow usage?

Fast usage is like giving your AI assistant a coffee boost - it prioritizes your requests. Slow usage means your AI assistant works at a more relaxed pace, possibly requiring some queue time, especially during busy periods when everyone is using the service.

Does Cursor store my code?

If you enable "Privacy Mode," your code stays in a secure vault on your computer only - we never peek at it or use it to train AI. However, without privacy mode enabled, we might collect some usage data (like commands, code snippets, or edit operations) to improve Cursor. Don't worry, we won't spy on your secret projects!

Can I use all Cursor features with API keys?

To be honest, some of our coolest features (like Tab completion and chat applications) are powered by our own special models, so they can't be accessed through API keys. It's like Cursor's secret recipe - only available in our kitchen.

How do usage limits work in membership plans?

If you're using the service enthusiastically and exceed limits, we'll kindly remind you to upgrade. But don't worry - we give you 50 free uses of advanced models to get a taste of what's possible.

What is cursor-small?

cursor-small is like Cursor's sidekick - while not as powerful as the advanced models, it's faster and perfect for quick editing tasks. Think of it as your reliable assistant - not omnipotent, but great at handling everyday tasks.

What if I have other questions?

Feel free to join our forum and chat with other Cursor enthusiasts. If you have something private to discuss, you can email us directly at [email protected]. We always welcome your questions and suggestions!

Who owns the code generated in Cursor?

It's yours, of course! Whether you're using the free, pro, or business version of Cursor, all generated code is your private property. You can use it however you like, including for commercial purposes. It's like having a super assistant help you write code, but you retain all the copyrights.

What is Cursor Tab?

Cursor Tab is Cursor's built-in super auto-completion feature. It's more powerful than regular Copilot, capable of suggesting entire code block modifications with excellent memory. Imagine having a super-smart programming partner who not only helps complete your code but understands your entire project and offers more intelligent suggestions.
