Cursor Pro ($20/mo or $16/mo annual) unlocks unlimited completions, access to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and the Composer multi-file context tool. Many engineering teams now subsidize Cursor for all engineers — it measurably reduces time-to-ship.

Ramp integrates natively with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and Sage — making it the default choice for startups managing heavy AWS, GCP, or Azure spend who want automated expense reconciliation.
