How to Cancel Cursor Pro (2026 Guide) — VS Code + Copilot Free Might Be Enough

Updated 2026-02-15 · 4 min read

Cursor Pro costs $20/month ($240/year) for an AI-powered code editor built on VS Code. It's essentially VS Code with deep AI integration — multi-file editing, codebase-aware chat, and smart completions. But with GitHub Copilot Free now offering 2,000 completions/month in regular VS Code, the value gap is narrowing.

How to Cancel Cursor Pro

  1. Open Cursor → click the gear icon or go to Settings
  2. Navigate to Subscription or Account
  3. Click Manage Subscription (opens billing portal)
  4. Click Cancel plan
  5. Confirm — you'll revert to Cursor's free tier (limited completions/chats)

The AI Coding Tool Overlap

Many developers pay for multiple AI coding tools without realizing the overlap:

ToolMonthlyWhat It Does
Cursor Pro$20AI code editor (completions + chat + edit)
GitHub Copilot$10AI completions in VS Code (same thing)
ChatGPT Plus$20AI chat (also does code)
All three$50/mo ($600/yr)Massive overlap

If you have Cursor Pro AND Copilot, you're paying for the same functionality twice. Pick one.

✅ Bottom Line

Cursor Free gives you 2,000 completions/month — try it before paying $20/month. If you're also paying for GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT Plus, you have significant overlap. For most developers, one AI coding tool at $10-20/month is enough. Cancel the duplicates.
