Cancel Cursor: 2026 Step-by-Step Guide

Q: Will I get a refund if I cancel Cursor?

Cursor generally doesn't offer refunds for unused portions of your subscription. Your Pro access continues until the end of your current billing period.

Q: Can I cancel Cursor from the desktop app?

No, you need to cancel through your online account settings. The desktop app doesn't have billing or subscription management features.

Q: What happens to my code after I cancel?

Your code and projects remain intact. You'll just lose access to Pro AI features and revert to the free tier limitations.

Q: Why can't I find the cancel button in my account?

If you're on a team plan, individual members can't cancel. Contact your workspace admin or check if you're logged into the account that holds the subscription.

Q: Can I cancel Cursor and keep using VS Code?

Yes, Cursor is built on VS Code, so you can switch back to regular Visual Studio Code at any time without losing your familiar workflow.

Q: Does cancelling Cursor affect my team members?

If you're the workspace admin and cancel the team subscription, it affects all team members. Individual cancellations on team plans aren't possible.

Q: How do I check if my Cursor subscription is fully cancelled?

Check your account settings for subscription status, or look for a cancellation confirmation email. Your Pro features will stop working at the end of your billing period.

Cancelling Cursor depends on how you subscribed and which plan you're on. This guide covers cancellation through your Cursor account, app stores, and team billing options.
