You know the moment. Agent mode finally nails a gnarly refactor across ten files — and then the usage meter tells you that's most of your allowance gone. Cursor's free plan is fine for poking at a side project, but if you actually code for a living, you're going to need a paid plan sooner or later.
Cursor is now part of The X Subscription, and Cursor Pro is closed to new sign-ups. Its replacement is X Subscription Premium, which bundles Cursor with Grok in one plan. The good news: you don't have to pay the full price for it. On GamsGo, you get a private Premium account for $24.49/month instead of the official $30/month, billed one month at a time with no yearly commitment.
What You Get When You Buy Cursor Pro?
Buying Cursor Pro today means getting X Subscription Premium. Here is what it changes in a normal week of shipping code:
- Monday, new feature. Describe the feature in plain English, and Agent mode scaffolds the functions, wires up the API calls, and drafts the tests — instead of you starting from a blank file.
- Tuesday, bug hunt. Cursor reads the whole project's logic, flags the likely cause of a failing test, and proposes the fix in one pass instead of a slow print-statement hunt.
- Wednesday, unfamiliar codebase. Ask Cursor to explain a module you inherited, and it walks through the classes, dependencies, and data flow in plain language.
- Thursday, background work. Kick off a Cloud Agent on a repetitive refactor and keep working in a different file — it runs in the background and opens a PR when it's done. Code reviews are included too.
- Friday, beyond the editor. The same plan unlocks Grok for research, chat, voice, and image and video generation, plus Grok Bot to handle tasks for you. Cursor and Grok draw from one weekly usage allowance, so you can spend it wherever the work is.
That is the real pitch: Premium isn't just "more requests"; it's at least twice the coding usage on Grok models compared with the old Cursor Pro plan, with an allowance that refreshes every week, so one heavy day doesn't wipe out your month.
One thing to know before you buy: third-party models such as Claude and GPT are still available in Cursor, but on X Subscription plans they are billed separately at API prices instead of coming from your included allowance. Your included usage covers Grok models.
Cursor Pro vs X Subscription Premium: What's the Difference?
If you've used Cursor Pro before, here's what changes when you move to X Subscription Premium. Short answer: same editor, more coding usage on Grok models, and Grok included in the same plan.
| Feature | Cursor Pro (legacy) | X Subscription Premium |
| Price | $20/month (closed to new sign-ups) | $30/month official · $24.49/month on GamsGo |
| Coding usage on Grok models | Standard Pro allowance | At least 2× Cursor Pro |
| Usage resets | Monthly | Weekly |
| Third-party models (Claude, GPT) | Included usage pool (~$20) | Available, billed separately at API prices |
| Tab, Agent, Cloud Agents, code reviews | ✓ Full access | ✓ Full access |
| Grok chat, voice & Imagine | ✗ | ✓ Same weekly allowance |
| Grok Bot | Separate usage | ✓ Included |
| Best for | Existing subscribers who mainly code with Claude or GPT | New users, and anyone who wants Cursor and Grok in one plan |
The editor is the same; the money buys more Grok-powered usage and the Grok apps on top. On GamsGo, that costs $24.49/month for a private account that only you use, about 18% less than the official price.
