Source Summary

Cursor Start is available in India for **₹649 per month**, including tax, with UPI or card payment. It includes Grok 4.5, Composer, more requests than Free, always-on cloud agents, iOS access, plugins, MCP, hooks, and skills.

Practical Implication

For builders whose usage exceeds Free but does not require every external model or the Cursor SDK, Start is a new middle tier. Check whether its unspecified usage allowance fits your normal agent workload before switching.

The plan is **India-only**, and the announcement does not quantify request limits. Pro still carries broader model access, Bugbot, Auto mode, Automations, the SDK, and usage beyond included limits.
Connected Context · Feed7 Judgment

Cursor Start fills the India-specific gap between Free and Pro by bundling cloud agents, iOS, MCP, hooks, skills, and core models at a local-currency price. Against the prior candidates, this makes mobile and always-on agent access cheaper to enter, but narrows the offer through geography, undisclosed request limits, and exclusions such as Bugbot, Automations, the SDK, and broader external-model access.
