Cursor Tab

Coding

AI inline code completion

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on VS Code that features Tab, an intelligent code completion system that predicts your next coding action with remarkable speed and precision. As part of the broader Cursor IDE, Tab provides unlimited AI-powered code suggestions and auto-completions that understand your entire codebase context.

Key Capabilities

Cursor Tab uses a specialized AI model to predict your next coding action, providing inline code completions that go beyond simple autocomplete to understand intent and context. The broader Cursor IDE includes Agent mode for complex multi-file refactoring tasks, deep codebase understanding through indexing, and integration with frontier AI models. The credit-based system allows flexible usage across different AI models, with Tab completions unlimited on all paid plans. Codebase indexing learns your entire project structure regardless of scale.

Who Should Use Cursor Tab

Cursor Tab is ideal for professional software developers who want AI-assisted coding integrated directly into their editor workflow. It benefits individual developers seeking faster coding through intelligent completions, as well as engineering teams wanting standardized AI tooling across their organization with collaborative features.

Getting Started

Download Cursor from cursor.com and install it as your primary code editor. The free Hobby plan provides limited Agent requests and Tab completions to test the experience. Open your project and start coding to see Tab suggestions appear inline as you type. Accept suggestions with the Tab key. Upgrade to Pro ($20/mo) for unlimited Tab completions and expanded Agent usage.

Pricing & Accessibility: Cursor offers a Hobby (Free) plan with limited completions and requests. Pro costs $20/mo with unlimited Tab completions and $20 in model usage credits. Pro+ is $60/mo with 3x credits, and Ultra is $200/mo with 20x credits. Teams plan costs $40/user/mo. Enterprise offers custom pricing. Annual billing saves 20%.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cursor Tab

How does Cursor's credit system work?
Since June 2025, Cursor uses a credit-based system where each paid plan includes monthly credits equal to the plan price in dollars. Credits are consumed based on which AI models you use, with different models having different credit costs. Tab completions are unlimited and do not consume credits on paid plans.
Is Cursor Tab the same as GitHub Copilot?
While both provide AI code completions, Cursor Tab uses a specialized model optimized for predicting your next coding action within the Cursor IDE. Cursor also includes Agent mode for complex tasks and deep codebase indexing, providing a more comprehensive AI coding environment than standalone completion tools.
Can I use Cursor with my existing VS Code extensions?
Yes, Cursor is built on VS Code and supports most VS Code extensions. You can import your existing settings, themes, and extensions when switching to Cursor, making the transition seamless for VS Code users.
