The amount paid is still pretty trivial. I wouldn’t expect much human support for most SaaS products costing $20 a month.

If you are charging people money, they deserve support. If Cursor's revenues are anything close to what is reported they can easily afford a support team - they just don't want to because they don't see the value.

Support quality depends on how much the company wants to keep that particular user. There are companies with better support for cheaper products and companies with worse support for more expensive products.

I've had great support from Jetbrains when I was paying less than that

No idea why you're downvited. If anyone wants a human support handholding, that's a territory of $200 or $2000/mo products.

Because this makes no sense.

Do they advertise that there's no support when you pay $20? I'm gonna take a guess that they don't.

They are getting paid by their customers and if they can't sustain their business (which includes support) with it they are under pricing their product and should have consequences for it.

A business is a business and we should stop treating startups as special. They operate on the same rules and standards that everyone else does.

If this incident happened to me, I think I'd 100% give them a pass because Cursor is my favorite and most used subscription.

I've gotten a lot of value out of it over the past year, and often feel that I'm underpaying for what I'm getting.

To me, any type of business is a business. I'd treat Cursor as special because it is special.
