Cursor, di AI coding agent wey co-founder and CEO Michael Truell build, na im SpaceX buy for a US$60bn deal, according to a report by AI Magazine. Di report tok say di company grow pass US$1bn revenue and reach most of di Fortune 500 companies in less than four years.
Di deal na one of di strongest signals yet say AI tools for coding don move from side experiment to serious business. Publications wey dey cover di sector now dey compare Cursor with established editors like VS Code and with GitHub Copilot, as developers dey weigh which one to put their money on.
Di takeover no come alone. On October 12, 2026, SpaceXSI announce one subscription plan wey bundle Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium together. As of October 13, 2026, new customers fit sign up on di company pricing page, and di company tok say e go roll di plan out to everybody globally over di next few days.
Di plan get five tiers: Free, Plus at $8 a month, Premium at $30, Super at $100 and Ultra at $200. Di pitch na consolidation. Grok and Cursor, wey once be separate subscriptions, now dey draw from one pool of included AI usage, while di X checkmark, creator tools and reduced ads ride along on di paid tiers.
For di Free tier, user go get daily access to Grok and a starter allowance for Cursor coding agents, plus standard X posting, replying and following. Plus add shared usage pool, di Grok API and Cursor access, and di Grok tools Chat, Voice, Imagine and Build. On X, Plus bring Premium checkmark, fewer timeline ads, enhanced creator tools and Advanced Analytics.
x.ai call Premium di most popular plan. E provide four times di Plus usage and add Grok Bot, di latest Grok models, faster chat responses and AI image and video generation. Code hosting, AI code reviews, cloud agents and automations, ad-free scrolling on most X surfaces and a preferred @handle also dey inside. For di pricing table, x.ai tok say Premium cover “the benefits of SuperGrok, Cursor Pro, and X Premium+, previously $90/month combined.” Super raise di pool to 15 times di Plus usage.
Outside di bundle, tech publications still dey weigh Cursor against oda tools. Hostinger publish a comparison on October 29, 2026, asking which AI code editor person suppose choose between Cursor and VS Code. Quasa.io put GitHub Copilot against Cursor on October 26, 2026, and call di difference di “$20 agent tier gap”.
Some developers dey look outside di subscription model too. On October 22, 2026, How-To Geek carry one writer account of how e dump Cursor subscription for an open-source alternative wey dey work offline.
