Token Use & Billing
Cursor works with local and remote AI models. Here is how tokens work:
- Local models (Ollama, llama.cpp): free, no token costs, runs entirely on your hardware.
- Remote APIs (OpenRouter, OpenAI, etc.): token usage is billed by the provider. Cursor does not charge any additional fees.
- No hidden costs: Cursor itself is free and open-source. You only pay your AI provider directly.
- Token transparency: Every request shows token counts in verbose mode. Run with
--verbose to see usage.
Learn about your model's token pricing on the provider's website. Cursor never adds markup or takes a cut.
