Cursor Reviews 223

Insanely intrusive. They had such a headstart in the AI IDE race and they blew it with throwing popup AI everywhere. And its way too difficult (maybe even impossible) to toggle these features.

PS I dont want to update your app every 24 hours. Not even exaggerating on the frequency they do this

They are professional in stealing your money by saying start pro subscription ,cancel anytime.Later after three days I came to know they have token system with limitation.i asked them why they did not inform me upfront.I asked them to cancel my subscription and refund the amount .They refused to refund .Its just 20$ company this is their worth ,be aware of them.

"I had a terrible experience with Cursor's billing system. Their system attempted to charge my card (ending in 6479) FOUR times unsuccessfully due to technical errors. When the payment finally went through for $20, I immediately requested a refund within the first hour as the subscription was accidental.

Despite my immediate request and the obvious system glitches, their support (Ralph) refused the refund, claiming 'usage'. This 'usage' was nothing more than me navigating the interface to understand why I was being charged repeatedly after multiple failures.

They are holding my money against my will for a service I don't want and haven't used for any work. Very disappointed in their lack of integrity and poor customer service. I will be filing a formal chargeback with my bank."

We are a company that pays a lot for Cursor. One of your employees got their account leaked, so the bill went up to a couple of thousand dollars. We have tried to contact customer support for weeks now to fix this issue, but have received no response.

Cursor is that company that thinks is adobe and squeezes clients with 0 value.

Im so glad A.I boomed fast and we are not stucked with mediocre products like cursor.

You use them once, they will tryo to charge every month and cancelling is something their mediocre coders are instructed to hide.

I am a senior Flutter developer. I purchased the $60 "Pro+" subscription to refactor an existing codebase. Despite the "Pro" branding and high price, my monthly quota was completely exhausted in less than 24 hours of standard coding work.
​The Problem:
Cursor advertises "unlimited" or high-volume usage but hides strict token limits deep in documentation pages. On the sales page, this is not clearly communicated.
​Support Experience:
When I requested a refund explaining that a $60 monthly plan shouldn't die in one day, support (AI and human) refused, citing "usage limits" that were not transparent at checkout. They essentially told me "You used it, too bad."
​Verdict:
If you are a professional working on real-world production apps, DO NOT trust their "Pro" tiers. You will hit a hidden wall immediately. I have initiated a chargeback with my bank due to misleading product description.

I have been using Cursor for my day-to-day tasks for a few months, and I have seen a noticeable improvement in the product almost constantly. Their Plans are very generous in the amount of use they provide. I would absolutely recommend Curosr to anyone from Freancers to entire software houses

Just today, the first time ever it blocked me as "all tokens used" without any info on when it will unfreeze. Previously it was promised to have unlimited usage - just slower. So they lied.
The tool is quite uncapable - You waste money, but job is not done. That sucks.

Cursor deliberately makes mistakes to make money. Cursor deliberately makes mistakes to make money, this is clearly noticeable. It is also seriously dangerous. I threatened him in the cursor chat (artificial intelligence) and he deleted all the zip files of my project without my permission and said he could not bring them back. Cursor deliberately ignores many commands and makes mistakes in order to make money.

I've been using this tool for five months now, I'm using it to mantain my wordpress plugin, an appointment booking system. I'm not a full stack developer but I'm the person who designed this plugin in all its part and then used developers to implement my decisions.

This tool is simply not reliable to replace developers but it's designed to give you the felling that you can relies on it, that it is able to code what you ask.

It simply doesn't work as it claims.

1 time works 100% 9 time FAILS sistematically.

It's not reliable and it's very expensive. It's still very far from what it promise.

I’ve just wasted all my credit on a simple task which it couldn’t do. 200 prompts & it couldn’t even produce a simple tick animation on an icon. Don’t use this service, it’s not worth it & it will waste your time & money.

Edited: & now it’s completely frozen & unusable,

Cursor has a stupid and clueless pricing structure. I used it for 3 days and it silently charged over $180, then blocked me.

with the $20 subscription, you can only work for about 2 days on a larger project.

why code with cursor when claude code exists. This company is so pathetic. Go with claude all day !!!!!

the debugging is terrible. Signed up for what i thought was a trial period, but company says trial period is half if you test the pro version. Would not cancel after 7 days. Stuck with a crappy app for a year now :-(

Cursor Pro+ is priced at $60/month, yet it relies on the same Opus 4.5 Thinking model used by significantly cheaper alternatives like Claude Code.

In my testing, Claude Code consistently produced clearer reasoning, more accurate code suggestions, and required less manual correction, despite costing significantly less. Cursor Pro+ did not show comparable quality or productivity gains to justify the price difference.

Combined with a strict no-refund policy, this makes the subscription a high-risk purchase.

One of worst customer supports I've ever seen. I'm getting nonsense responses, even after connecting to real employer! in medium size codebases each request costs for 0.80USD on average, even when I start a new chat session and really isolate the task into minimum context! but nothing changed, and in tiny codebase, or no codebase each request costs for me 0.40USD on average! few days ago I tried editing few md files in isolated directory, and it wasted 1.4Millon tokens! remember that there was like 2-3k md lines in total in that directory, I'm really considering to switching to better IDE, but haven't found one so far

Their "Trial" which doesn't allow you to do anything.
When you are forced into a subscription because the trial does not give you anything to try, the quality of the product and it's feedback is unfortunately not usable for any use case I would have used it and I personally find it extremely bad.
Refund was not granted after I did a couple prompts using only $0.5 to find out the quality is not usable for me. Would not recommend

This company steals from users through a strategy of time-wasting and project sabotage. You pay them money, and they simply waste your time. They've engineered their model to minimize your benefit, maximize your time, generate numerous errors, and deliberately interrupt sessions. They cause crashes, display fake messages, and trigger system crashes. Sometimes they even ask you to disable their security measures. They show you fake messages claiming someone is trying to hack you—many tricks. In short, it's more about theft than software development. Even if you asked them to write a six-line program, they'd waste seven days trying to get nothing done. This company relies on a strategy of stealing from users through time-wasting, error generation, and fabricated fake messages. They extort money from users to force them to pay more. If you're subscribed to a plan, they don't offer the option to extend your subscription. Instead, they try to force you to buy a higher-tier plan. They try to extort money from you by making you pay for each specific type or model you want. In short, they employ a strategy of intimidating users through time-wasting and spamming messages. Their service is poor, their technical support is terrible, and they deliberately ignore user messages, assuming the email address on the website is even real or exists at all.
