VERDICT

Should I use Cambridge?

Not disclosed - cambridge.org

Skip. This is Cambridge University Press & Assessment — a centuries-old academic publisher and exam board, not a software product, so there is nothing here to 'buy' as a tool. Only engage directly if you need its books, journals, or qualifications; anyone shopping for software should look elsewhere.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~60 public sources; nearly all describe unrelated 'Cambridge' entities (city, audio gear, finance firms, universities), leaving ~8 usable for this site — hence low confidence.

Gotchas - check before you buy
