Cursor launches localized AI coding subscription in India ahead of SpaceX deal

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

AI coding startup Cursor is launching a new, localized subscription plan called Cursor Start in India, priced at ₹649 per month. This move aims to tap into India's large developer market, which has become Cursor's third-largest globally. The new plan offers access to Cursor's Composer 2.5 and Grok 4.5 models with higher usage limits than the free tier, but excludes access to frontier AI models from providers like OpenAI and Anthropic.
