Choose Click if

Product and backend teams that want to embed long-running, tool-using agents in their app without building agent infrastructure.

  • Model-agnostic, so you are not locked to one LLM vendor
  • Full platform on every plan, including the free tier
  • Swappable sandbox, browser and search providers

Look elsewhere if: No-code teams that want a visual agent builder rather than an API (Relevance AI).

Choose Cursor if

Professional developers and engineering teams who want an AI agent built into the editor rather than bolted on.

  • Agent workflow is among the most mature in any code editor
  • Familiar VS Code interface with near-zero migration effort
  • Fast, accurate Tab completion that many developers rate above rivals

Look elsewhere if: Developers who want Tab completion inside JetBrains or Vim, or teams that need predictable flat pricing for Claude and GPT models (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code).
