Cursor Statistics 2026: Revenue, Users, Pricing History

Cursor's last published revenue figure is more than $1 billion in annualized revenue, announced in November 2025, and it describes its users as "millions of developers" without an exact count. More than 70% of the Fortune 500 use it, per Cursor in May 2026. SpaceX acquired Cursor at an implied equity value of $60.0 billion, closing August 14, 2026.

That headline hides the useful part for anyone budgeting around Cursor. The company stopped publishing revenue once SpaceX took over, so the most recent hard numbers about the business now come from SpaceX's SEC filings, while the most recent numbers about developers come from Cursor's own usage report. This page pulls both together with a date and a source on every figure.

Toolradar data: on Cursor's Toolradar profile, Cursor is listed as an alternative to 136 other tools, #1 of 130 in IDE and code editors, and it logged 459 compare-page visits in the last 30 days against a peer median of 56, as of October 2026. No other editor in that category is cross-shopped as often.

Cursor key statistics at a glance

The sources are linked in each section below, and every figure was read on the original page on October 21, 2026.

How much revenue does Cursor make?

Cursor has published three revenue milestones, each as a floor rather than an exact figure. In January 2025 its Series B post said recurring revenue had exceeded $100 million. In June 2025 the Series C post put ARR above $500 million. In November 2025 the Series D post said Cursor had crossed the billion-dollar mark in annualized revenue.

Devshot data: on those floors, Cursor grew its revenue at least tenfold in the 10 months between its Series B and Series D announcements (our arithmetic from Cursor's posts). The real growth may be larger, because each milestone is a minimum.

No 2026 revenue figure exists in Cursor's or SpaceX's public documents. SpaceX's IPO prospectus says only that Cursor "has historically earned some revenue" and warns that revenue after the deal "may vary significantly from historical performance." For a buyer, that means any 2026 Cursor revenue number you see quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.

How many people use Cursor?

Cursor has never published an exact user count. It wrote "millions of programmers" in January 2025 and "millions of developers" in November 2025, so the honest answer is "millions," with no figure attached to either statement.

Enterprise reach is better documented. Cursor said in June 2025 that over half of the Fortune 500 used it, and in May 2026 it raised that to over 70%, in a post announcing that Gartner had named it a Leader in the 2026 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise AI Coding Agents. Named customers in its funding posts include NVIDIA, Uber and Adobe.

The team grew alongside the user base, to over 300 engineers, researchers, designers and operators by November 2025. Cursor also announced two acquisitions: Graphite, a code review platform, in December 2025, and Firetiger, a production-monitoring agent company, in August 2026.

Cursor funding and valuation history

Cursor's own posts give three priced rounds before the SpaceX deal, and SpaceX's filings give the terms of the deal itself.

The three rounds add up to $3.3 billion raised (our arithmetic), and the SpaceX price is about six times the Series C valuation and about twice the Series D valuation of nine months earlier. Against the last revenue floor Cursor published, the deal values the company at no more than 60 times annualized revenue, although that floor is nine months older than the closing date.

The closing Form 8-K also shows that vested restricted stock units converted into 1,752,426 SpaceX shares, while unvested units and options became roughly 29.1 million SpaceX restricted stock units and 44.4 million SpaceX options. Unvested Cursor equity now vests as SpaceX equity, which matches the retention incentives the prospectus said SpaceX would offer continuing employees.

Walking away would have been expensive for SpaceX. Under the option terms in the prospectus, if SpaceX had terminated, Cursor was entitled to a $1.5 billion termination fee plus an $8.5 billion deferred services fee under the compute agreement. The prospectus also reports that at its January 31, 2026 fiscal year-end Cursor held $3.1 billion of total assets, mostly cash, against $0.55 billion of liabilities.

The news timeline of the deal is in SpaceX closes its Cursor acquisition, and the first product launched under the new owner is covered in Cursor launches Origin.

Cursor pricing history since 2025

Cursor's pricing has changed four times in sixteen months, and most of those changes moved cost away from a fixed request count toward metered usage. The dates below come from Cursor's own pricing posts and its live pricing page.

Ultra is the only list price that has not moved since June 2025. Everything below it was reshaped: Plus runs Grok models only, and on the paid plans third-party models are billed separately by usage, outside the monthly price. A developer who pinned Claude or GPT models on an older plan should compare the usage line, not the sticker.

Teams now starts $10 lower than the monthly Standard seat of June 2026 (our arithmetic from the two list prices), but the seat tiers changed at the same time, so check what each seat includes before assuming a saving. The plan-by-plan breakdown is in Cursor pricing, the student route is in Cursor student discount, and the eight-assistant comparison is AI coding assistant pricing 2026.

How developers use Cursor: usage statistics

Cursor's Developer Habits Report, built on aggregated product data through May 16, 2026, is the most detailed public picture of how its users work. It excludes data from users in Privacy Mode.

• Output per developer more than doubled. Lines added per developer per week rose from 3.6K in January 2025 to 8.6K by mid-May 2026.
• Pull requests got bigger. Lines added per PR at the 75th percentile grew from about 126 to 345 over the same period, and PRs of 1,000 or more changed lines rose from 8% to 13.8% of merged PRs.
• AI code is sticking. The share of accepted AI lines still present after 60 minutes rose from roughly 76% to 81% during 2026.
• Model choice drives the bill. A mean agent request cost $1.57 on Opus 4.7 against $0.18 on Cursor's own Composer 2.5, a spread Cursor puts at nearly 9x across model families.
• A few users do most of the work. P99 developers produce 46x the AI lines of the median user and merge 15x the PRs, and Gini scores reach 0.77 for AI lines.

Devshot data: reading the report's own cumulative-share table, the top 5% of Cursor users account for about 47% of AI-generated lines and 46% of AI spend (our arithmetic from Cursor's Lorenz-curve data). That concentration is why Cursor's June 2026 Teams change added a heavier seat for power users rather than raising every seat.

Cursor's CFO Council post adds that 84% of power users use multiple models each week. For a team lead, the practical reading is that seat count predicts the bill less well than which developers run agents all day. How Cursor compares with a terminal-first agent is in Claude Code vs Cursor, and the product page is the Cursor review.

How we compiled these statistics

Every figure comes from a first-party source read on October 21, 2026: Cursor's company, product and pricing posts, the Cursor pricing page, the Developer Habits Report, and SpaceX's SEC filings, including the June 16, 2026 Form 8-K that announced the merger agreement. Growth multiples, funding totals and the top-5% share are our arithmetic from those figures. The compare-page and alternatives counts come from Cursor's Toolradar profile, October 2026. Third-party revenue estimates are excluded. This page is updated when Cursor or SpaceX publishes a new figure, and the updated date moves with it.

How much revenue does Cursor make in 2026?

Cursor has not published a 2026 revenue figure. Its last disclosure, on November 13, 2025, said annualized revenue had crossed $1 billion. SpaceX's filings describe Cursor's revenue only as "some revenue," with no amount, so any 2026 number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
