Documented strengths

Limitations to consider

Buying assessment

Pilot Cursor on one bounded maintenance task. Track the code you keep, fixes you make, and usage consumed before choosing a larger subscription.

This is an inference from the linked product documentation. It is a research-based assessment; no hands-on testing has been recorded.
