Anysphere launches a 200$ nonth cursor AI coding subscription
Anysphere has launched a new $200 subscription plan for Cursor, a popular AI coding tool. Blog post on monday.
The new plan, Ultra, offers users more than 20 times more usage on AI models from Openai, Anthropic, Google Deepmind and Xai. Anysphere also says that Ultra plan cursor users will get priority access to the new features.
Anysphere CEO Michael Truell said in his blog that Ultra Plans have become possible through a multi-year partnership with AI model providers. Over the past few months, Openai, Anthropic, and Google Deepmind have rolled out similarly expensive subscription plans. $100 a month In $250 per month – As part of an effort to leverage power users and increase usage.
The new, priced cursor subscription plan appears poised to add revenue to Anysphere’s already booming business. Earlier this month, Anysphere announced what Cursor had Repetitive annual revenues reached $500 million It is also used by major companies such as Nvidia, Uber and Adobe.
Anysphere is one of the fastest companies to date to reach a $100 million ARR and does not appear to have slowed down. Based on Previous TechCrunch ReportCursor’s ARR has increased by $200 million since April.
However, competition is intensifying to develop “bibecoded” tools, with many cursors from AI model providers developing their own AI coding products. Openai is reported We acquired Windsurf, a competitor of Cursorstrengthens the offering of AI coding products. Meanwhile, humanity continues to develop Claude Code, an in-house AI coding tool that uses popular AI models.
It is unclear whether Anysphere can maintain this level of growth without hitting AI model providers. As these businesses grow, we have seen more competitive tactics emerge in the AI coding space. For example, recently humanity Reduced direct access to Windsurf’s Claude AI model As a way to undercut Openai, our biggest competitor.
At the same time, Anysphere began to invest more resources towards developing its own AI models that work together with Openai and the human model. In May, Anysphere unveiled New “tab” AI modelyou can suggest changes to your code across various files.
In a recent interview with TechCrunch, humanity co-founder Jared Kaplan said he believes that humanity has been working with Cursor for a long time. Anysphere’s multi-year partnership with humanity and other AI model providers certainly suggests that these relationships still don’t go anywhere. Nonetheless, the user competition is becoming more intense.
