Cursor
AI code editor with best-in-class agentic editing

Adoption among Indian dev teams is fast — India is Cursor's third-largest market — and since July 2026 it offers an India-only ₹649/month Start plan billed in rupees via UPI, alongside its regular global USD plans.

The ₹649/month Start plan (launched July 2026, tax-inclusive, UPI/card) is a cut-down tier — it drops Bugbot, Auto Mode, Automations and the SDK versus the full $20/month plan. The tax-inclusive price is a consumer checkout price, not a confirmed GSTIN-attached invoice for input tax credit.
