I Ran Cursor and Teal on the Same Job. One Embarrassed the Other.

If a tool saves me one dumb task, it earns its subscription. The task was ordinary: something a person does twice a week and hates.

Cursor's edge is simple: an editor that actually edits your files across the repo, not just a chat box

Teal, by contrast, a job-tracker that tailors your resume per posting and matches keywords

The automation Teal — a job-tracker that tailors your resume per posting and matches keywords. If you live in that workflow, keep Teal. But if the daily grind is your real bottleneck, Cursor is the calmer pick.

The honest part: the matching is keyword-level, not judgment; you still decide what matters. it loves to rewrite more than you asked; you learn to watch the diffs. I'd still keep both installed; they fight different battles.
