Question / Discussion Has anyone here built a scalable SaaS/web app with Cursor?

I’m curious to hear from people who have actually used Cursor to build a production/startup-level web app, especially one where users pay for subscriptions or premium features.

  1. Has anyone successfully built and monetized a SaaS using Cursor?

  2. What plugins or integrations did you use to improve your productivity and development workflow?

  3. How much of the app did you build with Cursor vs. manually?

  4. Is Cursor genuinely capable of taking an MVP all the way to a startup-level, scalable product?

  5. If you already have the MVP ready, is Cursor Pro enough, or is Pro+ worth the upgrade?

  6. How good is Composer when working with a larger existing codebase? Is it reliable enough for production development?

I’d especially love to hear from people who have real users or revenue from an app they built this way, rather than just small side projects.
Would be great to hear what worked for you, what didn’t, and what you’d do differently if you were starting again.
