Read the full Make review

Make (formerly Integromat) offers a visual scenario builder that sits between Zapier's simplicity and n8n's power. Complex branching, data manipulation and AI integrations are all first-class. Popular with operations teams that need Zapier's polish but n8n's flexibility.

Read the full Cursor review

Cursor is the AI-first code editor that many senior engineers have quietly switched to. It forks VS Code, adds deep repo understanding, Composer for multi-file edits and background agents that can plan and execute changes on their own. The Tab autocomplete alone is worth the switch. Cursor works with every major model and lets you pick per-request. If you write code for a living, this is the tool most likely to change how you work.
