From input to reviewed output
Put it to work
- Write one task and the outcome that would make the tool useful.
- Check the edition, pricing metric, limits and deployment requirements against that task.
- Run a narrow evaluation and record what would trigger a paid or higher-touch plan.
Limits and tradeoffs
Teams choosing self-hosting must operate the application infrastructure instead of using Medusa Cloud.
