Compiled by The WatchSomething wrong?How this is made
Why it matters
The figure is a line on a price list: $120 per seat per month for Cursor's Premium Teams seat on monthly billing, or $96 per seat on annual terms, against $40 and $32 for the Standard seat [1][2]. Cursor describes Premium as five times the included usage of Standard at three times the cost, with teams free to mix seat types [3], and the monthly numbers match that ratio exactly [4]. It stops being a procurement number the moment you read what the seat entitles. Cursor Teams Premium is listed among the plans eligible for Grok Bot, alongside SuperGrok Heavy and Cursor Ultra, with availability and billing depending on account and plan [5]. The Grok Bot documentation says bots can sign in and use apps and websites just like you do, on a persistent cloud computer [6]. Members sign in with their Cursor account, so existing Cursor SSO and team membership apply [7], and bots can log in to services in that computer's web browser [8]. The architecture is what the money buys. Each member gets one dedicated managed Linux virtual machine, and all of that member's bots share it, so files, sign-in sessions and permissions belong to the member rather than to an individual bot [9]. The FAQ is unusually direct about the consequence: the computer is assigned per user, and separate bots are not a security boundary [10]. Each bot gets its own screen on the same machine, and a login or file placed there should be treated as available to all of them [11]. Deleting a bot removes its profile, conversation and routines, but files and logins on the shared computer may remain [12]. So the blast radius is the seat, priced at $120 a month [1]. The controls that exist are real but partial: sign-in tokens for hosted MCP servers stay with Cursor's backend and are never stored on the computer [13], first local execution requires member consent and every local action passes Auto-review showing the exact command [14], and human-only steps such as passwords, two-factor codes and CAPTCHAs require a computer takeover [15]. The machine is not enrolled in mobile device management by default [16], and Cursor recommends pushing a password manager via a Team Setup script or asking members to enroll passkeys [17].
