Cursor apologizes for unclear pricing changes that upset users

The company behind the CEO of AnySphere, the company behind the popular EU-powered coding environment, apologized for a weak election price change in the Pro plan for $ 20 per month. Changes have resulted in some users by complaining that they are unexpectedly facing additional costs.

“We do not work well in this valuable district,” he said Blog post. “Our communication was not clear enough and came as a surprise for many of you.”

Truell is a reference to 16 June update to the cursor’s Pro plan. Instead of Pro users, Openai, anthropic and Google, received 500 quick response in advanced AI models and was calculated in the API rates of subscribers receiving an unlimited response. The new plan allows users to execute coding tasks in the cursor with the AI ​​qualifying model until it hits $ 20, and users should receive additional loans to continue using.

However, Pro users took to social media to present their complaints in the weeks of the announcement.

Many users, in some cases, in some cases, the cursor said that the cursor is running out very quickly After several instructions when using anthropick’s new clod modelsEspecially popular for coding. They claimed to be other users Unexpected additional costsThey will not be filled in an attachment if they run over the limit of 20 dollars and not setting the spending limit. In the new plan, the “Auto Mode” cursor “Auto Mode” from the power-based AI models, offers unlimited use for Pro users.

AnySphere aims to be clear that unexpectedly planned users to return and pre-moving price changes. The company rejected the TechCrunch request for commentary outside the blog post.

Truell marks the price of any cursor in a blog, because “new models can spend more in more verses more thankens on tasks” – it means that it is more expensive, the more time and calculation sources are spent in complex, multi-step tasks. The cursor eats these expenses under the old Pro plan, but now transmits them for users.

When many AI models are reduced to the price, the advanced part of the performance continues to be expensive – in some cases, it is more expensive than ever. The clod of the anthropics recently launched the clodular, millions of $ 750,000 (more than a million “of the rings” series “more than 750,000 words) and million dollars. It costs even more Launch of Google 2.5 Pro in AprilThis is the most expensive AI model so far.

In recent months there is Openai and anthropic AI models have started to receive the enterprise customers for the “priority” speech – An additional premium on the EU models, those who guarantee reliable, high-speed performance.

These expenses can filter their ways to EU coding tools that are more expensive in the industry. Another popular AI instrument users were caught in the presventurer in recent weeks Price changes that complement large tasks with more expensive.

The cursor became one of the most successful AI products in the market, more than $ 500 million, and more than $ 500 million via subscribers. However, the cursor is now confronted with the AI ​​providers, which is closely competing from the AI ​​providers when considering how to serve more expensive AI models.

AI coding vehicle in which anthropick has recently launched Claude code has hit enterprises, The company’s array has been increased to $ 4 billionand likely to receive some users from the cursor in the process. Last week, the cursor returned the grace by hiring two an anthropic workers that caused the development of the clod code.

However, if the cursor intends to keep the market leader position, it cannot stop working with the most modern model providers – at least not to himself Models grown at home are more reasonable competition.

Thus, any recently hit many years of deal with Openai, Antropian, Google and Xai 200 months of a monthly cursor to offer Ultra plan With a very high degree limit. Anthropic co-founder Jared Kaplan also spoke at Techcrunch in June plans to work with the cursor for a long time.

However, the pressure between the cursor and AI model developers is established.
