How to cancel Cursor

Before you cancel

Export first

• Code and project files: Nothing to export: they live on your computer, and neither cancelling nor deleting the account touches them cursor.com cursor.com

What happens to your data

Cancelling keeps the account and settings. Deleting the account removes all its data (including chat history and settings) within 30 days. After termination Cursor may delete content associated with the account.

What you lose

• Paid plan features and included usage (Hobby has limited usage)
• On deleting the account: chat history, settings and Grok Bot, which uses the same account

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

Questions people ask

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

• Free plan The free Hobby plan keeps Cursor's core features (Agent, Chat and Tab completions with the Auto model) with limited usage; cancelling moves you to it cursor.com cursor.com
• Cheaper plan Individual plans can schedule a downgrade instead of cancelling: in the billing dashboard, click Adjust plan on your plan's tile, pick the plan and confirm Schedule Downgrade. You keep the current plan until the period ends cursor.com cursor.com
• Pay yearly Yearly billing is available: click Upgrade Now on the green banner at the top of the billing dashboard (the help page doesn't state the saving) cursor.com
• Fewer seats Teams are billed per active paid seat. Remove members from the team dashboard; a removed member who used Cursor this cycle stays billable until the period ends cursor.com cursor.com

For AI agents

• The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
• Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge
• The Terms also let you cancel by emailing hi@cursor.com
• Plans bought in the iOS or Android app can't be cancelled on cursor.com, and Cursor can't cancel or refund them; on-demand usage for those plans is billed separately to a card added on the web
• The cancel option is hidden if the plan already lapsed, an invoice is unpaid, or you aren't a team admin; resolve billing first
• Deleting the account is separate: cancel first, then at cursor.com/dashboard scroll to Advanced Account Settings and click Delete Account; it also deletes Grok Bot
• Cursor sells only through cursor.com and doesn't authorize resellers
• On-demand usage is billed after included usage runs out and isn't refunded once used

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/cursor.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
