Summary

Cursor experienced a discrete trust event in June 2025 when a pricing restructure shifted the $20/mo Pro tier from 500 fast requests to $20-of-API-usage, dropping effective heavy-user capacity by roughly 50%. CEO apology and refunds followed. A separate AI-support hallucination incident in April 2025 fabricated a non-existent lockout policy and drove cancellations. Claude Code and Windsurf absorbed measurable migration. Score is D not F because product depth and IDE integration remain best-in-class.

Priority Action

Publish an ironclad 12-month Pro pricing stability commitment with grandfather clauses for existing customers. The June 2025 change is the defining trust event in Cursor's story, and every Cursor customer now watches the pricing page with suspicion. Trust recovery beats feature velocity here.

    Fix: 12-month Pro pricing commitment. Grandfather existing customers on credit allowances. Separate power-user tier with pay-as-you-go so base Pro stays predictable.
