Cursor retired the $40 per seat per month BugBot subscription. Its own post, dated 11 May 2026, says BugBot is switching to usage-based billing for Teams and Individual plans, starting at each customer's first billing renewal after 8 June 2026src. There is no published BugBot rate now: Teams bill it from on-demand spend and Individuals draw on the usage included in a paid Cursor plan.
1-This entry used to say BugBot was a $40/user/mo add-on requiring Cursor Business at $40/user/mo, for an $80 effective entry. Every part of that is now wrong. The seat SKU is retired, the prereq plan is called Teams rather than Business, and the $40 left on Cursor's rate card is the Teams seat itself.
2-It also called BugBot an IDE bug-finder that does not leave PR comments. Cursor's docs say BugBot analyzes PR diffs and leaves comments with explanations and fix suggestions, and publishes a CI status per runsrc. It is a pull request reviewer, in the same category as CodeRabbit and Greptile.
1+BugBot is switching from a $40 per seat per month subscription to usage-based billing for Teams and Individual plans. Seat fees are removedsrc.
2+Teams bill BugBot from on-demand spend. Individuals bill it from the usage included in their plan.
3+For existing customers the change starts at the next billing renewal after 8 June 2026, so an annual subscription bought in May 2026 only moves across in May 2027.
4Cursor publishes an average run cost of $1.00 to $1.50 depending on PR size and complexity. That is an average the vendor quotes, not a rate card, so we do not turn it into a $/PR line.
1Hobby is free. Pro is $20/mo, Pro+ $60/mo and Ultra $200/mo, and each of the three carries the line "Bugbot on usage-based billing". Teams is $40/user/mosrc.
2-Free Hobby does not list BugBot, so there is no free path to it.
3Teams still on the old plan can read the retired terms on Cursor's legacy BugBot pricing page, which records the $40 per user per month that used to apply.
1+If the team already pays for Cursor, BugBot is incremental spend on an account you already have rather than a new vendor, a new contract and a new security review. That is a real advantage over a standalone reviewer.
2-You cannot budget it from the rate card. A per-seat reviewer gives procurement a number before you start; usage billing gives you one after. Cap the spend before you turn on review-everything.
3+The platform story is much wider than we had it: GitHub including Enterprise Server, GitLab including self-hosted, Bitbucket including Data Center, and Azure DevOps Services.
