What they are

Cursor

Cursor is a VS Code fork with AI embedded at the core, not bolted on as a plugin. It indexes your entire repository, supports multi-file edits via Composer, runs autonomous agents in the background via Cloud Agents, and gives you access to models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google within a single interface. Used daily by developers at Stripe, Figma, Adobe, and Salesforce, it is the dominant AI-native IDE as of mid-2026. The credit-based pricing introduced in 2025 means your effective monthly cost depends heavily on which models you choose.

Kajabi

Kajabi is an all-in-one platform where creators build and sell online courses, membership sites, coaching programs, and digital products. It combines a website builder, email marketing, checkout, and basic analytics under one subscription. Solo creators and small teams use it to avoid stitching together multiple tools. The trade-off is that each individual feature tends to be shallower than a dedicated specialist tool.
