Subscribe from the iOS app

The Cursor iOS app supports subscribing to a paid plan as an in-app purchase handled by Apple. Here's how it works and how it differs from subscribing on the web.

Which plans can I buy in the app?

If you don't already have a plan billed through cursor.com, you can subscribe to a monthly Pro, Pro+, or Ultra plan from the app. If you already subscribed in the app, you can upgrade your plan there too. If you're on a plan billed through cursor.com, manage it on cursor.com instead.

Only monthly individual plans are available in the app. For yearly billing, Teams, or Enterprise plans, subscribe on cursor.com.

How do I manage an in-app subscription?

Apple is the merchant of record for in-app purchases, so Apple handles all subscription management.

Because Apple processes the payment, Cursor can't cancel an in-app plan or issue a refund for you. Any billing question on an in-app subscription goes through Apple.

Can I use on-demand spend on an in-app plan?

No. Cursor doesn't store a payment method for in-app subscribers, so you can't turn on on-demand spend. To use on-demand, move to a subscription billed through cursor.com.

How do I switch to a subscription on cursor.com?

You can't switch directly while an in-app subscription is active. To move to a plan billed through cursor.com:

  1. Cancel the in-app subscription through Apple.
  2. Wait for it to expire at the end of the current period.
  3. Once it lapses, sign up again on cursor.com.

Is my plan tied to my email or my Apple ID?

Both. An in-app plan is tied to a single Cursor email and the Apple ID used to buy it. If you sign in with a different email and try to restore the purchase, you'll see an error. Use the same email you subscribed with.

What if my in-app purchase hasn't synced?

Your subscription status usually syncs automatically. If it still looks wrong after a purchase, tap Restore Purchases in the app. This re-downloads your subscription state from Apple and re-applies your plan. Restore Purchases is for accounts that aren't already on a cursor.com subscription.

Can I buy a plan in the app in my region?

Yes. In-app plans are available in every region where Cursor is on the App Store, which is everywhere except mainland China.
