Whether it sends code to a third party, and IDE and language coverage are the two things to confirm before committing a budget.Limits worth knowingIt works best on repetitive tasks, not on judgement calls.Export limits and seat pricing are the usual surprises.When to skip itIt is the wrong pick when output must be legally or medically reviewed anyway.Start on the smallest plan - the gap between tiers is usually volume, not capability.Last verified: 2026-11-13.
