Comparison
FeatureFactory vs Cursor
Cursor is a superb AI code editor. FeatureFactory measures what it produces across your team - authorship, quality and ROI. Complementary, not either/or.
The short version
Cursor is the leading AI code editor and a genuinely excellent build tool. But it writes code - it does not measure what that code did once it shipped. FeatureFactory attributes AI-vs-human authorship line by line, scores quality and rework, and closes the loop back to your plan. Run both.
Why teams pick FeatureFactory
Line-level AI authorship
Cursor writes code in the editor, but once it lands in a PR the origin blurs. FeatureFactory attributes authorship line by line across your team, so you know exactly what the AI wrote - not just that AI was used.
Close the loop on what Cursor builds
Product signal to product plan to build to measure, then back again. FeatureFactory grades the code Cursor produces for rework, churn and revert rate, and feeds that back into the next spec.
ROI you can predict
Cursor is a superb build tool; it is not a measurement platform. FeatureFactory ties AI-assisted output to DORA, cycle time and rework so you can see whether the investment held up - and forecast cost with confidence.
Complementary, not either/or
Keep Cursor in every developer's IDE. FeatureFactory sits above the editor and measures what ships, so adopting it never means giving up the tool your team already loves.
