Gemini 4 Hydrogen in Cursor: Price and Plan Access
Cursor now lists Gemini 4 Hydrogen as a third-party model available on Premium and higher plans. It is billed from prepaid credit at published token rates rather than included plan usage. This guide explains the listed rates and how billing differs for legacy Cursor plans.
Cursor's model page lists Gemini 4 Hydrogen as a third-party model, not one of the models included in Cursor's usage (Cursor's Gemini 4 Hydrogen page; Cursor Models & Pricing).

Plan access and billing
On The X Subscription, Cursor says Gemini 4 Hydrogen is not included in plan usage and is billed at the listed rates from prepaid credit. Cursor's plan page says third-party models are available on Premium and above at API list price; Free and Plus do not include them (Cursor's Gemini 4 Hydrogen page; Cursor Models & Pricing).
Legacy Cursor plans use a different pool: Cursor says Gemini 4 Hydrogen usage draws from the Other Models pool. Check the model and plan pages for the billing terms that apply to your account before using Hydrogen for a high-volume workflow (Cursor's Gemini 4 Hydrogen page).
