Sample · Week of April 28
Last week in your competitive landscape
Cursor changed its Pro plan from $20 → $20 with a new 500-request cap. Existing users on legacy unlimited keep their plan; new sign-ups get the metered tier. Recommended action:if your positioning leans on “unlimited”, lead with it this week — Cursor just ceded that ground.
Lovable raised a $15M Series A from Accel, announced on Tuesday. Expect more aggressive marketing and a hiring spree (3 senior eng roles posted within 24 hours).
- Vercel v0 shipped a Figma import beta.
- Replit quietly removed their free tier from the pricing page.
- Bolt.new posted a Director of DevRel role — first non-eng leadership hire.
- Cara hit #1 on Product Hunt with their Cursor extension.
Mostly blog posts and routine product updates. None require action.
What I’d watch this week
Cursor’s pricing change is the real story. The metered cap is a tell that compute costs are the binding constraint, which means the next 90 days of competitor moves will hinge on who can subsidize free tiers and who can’t. Lovable’s funding buys them runway to do exactly that. If you’re in this space, decide now whether you’re the cheap option or the opinionated one — the middle is about to get crowded.
