Cursor Bugbot is aimed at the bugs that matter rather than style comments. Cursor says it combines frontier and in-house models and that more than half of the bugs it finds are fixed by engineers. Once enabled, it reviews new pull requests in the background, and teams shape it with Bugbot Rules; a separate Autofix check can propose changes, and fixes open in the Cursor editor or run through a cloud agent. The docs list GitHub including Enterprise Server, GitLab including self-hosted, Bitbucket including Data Center, and Azure DevOps. Pricing is the catch. There is no Bugbot subscription: on individual plans reviews use included usage, starting with Premium at $30 a month, and on Teams plans they bill from on-demand usage. Cursor puts the average review at $1.00 to $1.50, so a team merging hundreds of PRs a month should set spend limits early.
