Kilo offers Cursor users up to 12 months of free Enterprise access
Kilo is urging developers and organizations to switch from Cursor, offering eligible paid Cursor Enterprise customers up to 12 months of Kilo Enterprise subscription fees at $0. The promotion, announced on November 10, 2026, is part of Kilo’s broader pitch around model choice, cost control and enterprise governance.
- Kilo says it supports more than 500 models.
- Users can bring their own API keys or run compatible open-weight models locally.
- Kilo Gateway offers zero markup on model token prices.
- Eligible Cursor Enterprise customers can receive up to 12 months of Kilo Enterprise subscription fees at $0.
- Applications for the promotion close November 30, 2026.
More control over models and infrastructure
In a post titled Nothing to Lose and Everything to Gain, Kilo said developers can retain core AI coding workflows while gaining more control over the models, providers and infrastructure they use. The company says Kilo provides access to more than 500 models, support for bringing your own API keys, direct connections to supported providers and the ability to run compatible open-weight models locally through Ollama or LM Studio.
Kilo also highlights support for Amazon Bedrock, existing inference contracts and local AI on NVIDIA RTX Spark with Windows on Arm on numerous devices. According to the company, developers can select different models for different tasks, including GPT, Claude or a local model for sensitive work.
Kilo promotes visibility into AI coding costs
Kilo’s argument also focuses on the cost of agentic coding, where one prompt can trigger multiple tool calls and a prolonged agent session. The company says its platform provides transparent token pricing, team budgeting, session-level cost visibility, bring-your-own-key options and automatic model routing intended to help optimize cost and performance.
Kilo Gateway offers zero markup on model token prices, according to Kilo, while separately billed services and applicable fees are handled independently. The company says these controls can help developers choose lower-cost models and give development managers more visibility into spending across teams.
Anaconda adds data science and security capabilities
Kilo is part of Anaconda, and the post presents that connection as a way to extend the product beyond code generation. Kilo points to Anaconda’s vetted packages, trusted environments, curated models and MCPs, as well as work with Jupyter notebooks, conda environments and AI agents in Kilo Desktop.
The company also says users can optionally add Enkrypt AI by Anaconda security testing and runtime protection capabilities to help test and control agent behavior in development, pre-production and production. Kilo notes that some capabilities require additional Anaconda products or integrations.
Cursor Exodus promotion runs through November 30
Kilo says most developers will be able to switch without giving up core workflows such as autonomous coding agents, planning, multi-file editing, debugging, testing, cloud agents, MCP integrations and Git workflows. The platform is available through VS Code, JetBrains, the CLI, Kilo Desktop and cloud agents, with agent management from a phone or Slack.
Organizations with an eligible paid Cursor Enterprise contract can apply for Kilo’s Cursor Exodus promotion. Kilo says it will provide $0 Kilo Enterprise subscription fees for the remaining term of an eligible Cursor contract, for up to 12 months, and match the Cursor Enterprise seat count 1:1. The offer includes centralized administration, model policies, SSO, SCIM, audit logs and usage visibility, but excludes AI inference and separately billed services. Eligibility and contract verification apply, and applications close November 30, 2026.
