# Exploring the Free Tier of Cursor: AI-Powered Coding for Everyone > [!NOTE] Fuente original: [carlosluengo.com](https://carlosluengo.com/posts/cursor-free-tier) Recently, I explored the **free tier of Cursor**, an AI-powered code editor designed to boost productivity and streamline software development. Cursor offers a modern, VSCode-based experience with integrated AI features for code completion, refactoring, and documentation. #### What is Cursor? Cursor is a next-generation code editor that leverages artificial intelligence to help developers write, understand, and improve code faster. It integrates seamlessly with popular workflows and supports a wide range of programming languages. #### Free Tier Features - **AI code completion and suggestions** - **Basic refactoring tools** - **Limited daily usage of advanced AI features** - **Access to community support and updates** #### Limitations - Daily cap on AI-powered actions (e.g., completions, explanations) - Some advanced features (like unlimited AI chat or priority support) are reserved for paid plans #### My Experience The free tier is a great way to try out Cursor's capabilities. For students, hobbyists, or anyone curious about AI-assisted coding, it provides enough functionality to boost productivity without cost. The interface is intuitive, and the AI suggestions are genuinely helpful for both learning and speeding up routine tasks. ##### More Information You can learn more or sign up for the free tier at [ Cursor's official website ](https://www.cursor.so/). ![[_assets/carlosluengo/assets/img/2025/2025_05_15_cursor.png]] ##### Student Offer: One Year of Cursor Pro Free If you are a verified university student, you can get **one year of Cursor Pro for free**.
