Cursor targets India with $7 tiers just weeks before SpaceX deal closes
cursor launched a $7 india-specific plan with local payments as its user base triples in the country.
cursor introduced a ₹649 ($7) 'cursor start' subscription in india, offering composer 2.5 and grok 4.5 with upi payments, as its local user base triples and the country becomes its third-largest market globally. this price localization, similar to strategies by openai and anthropic, targets india's 27 million developers with a tier below the $20 pro plan which excludes frontier models. the aggressive expansion occurs weeks before cursor's expected acquisition by spacex closes, signaling a focus on scaling developer adoption in key growth markets.
