Scite is a research platform that analyzes how scientific papers cite each other, showing whether findings have been supported or contradicted by later research
Freemium
Smart Citations go far beyond raw citation counts by classifying each citation as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning, and showing the surrounding sentence, which gives a genuinely more useful read on how well a claim has held up.
Direct licensing agreements with Wiley, SAGE, and 40+ other publishers let Scite search inside full-text articles rather than guessing from abstracts, reaching content that paywall-limited tools cannot.
AI-native code editor with agents, full-codebase context, and multi-model support
Free plan
Agent-centric design goes well beyond autocomplete — agents can read full-codebase context, coordinate multi-file changes, run tests, and present finished work for review, which suits ambitious multi-step tasks.
Genuine model flexibility lets you pick Claude, GPT, or Gemini per task, or fall back to Cursor's own Composer model, so you can balance capability against cost rather than being locked to one provider.
Intercom AI is a customer service platform that combines a helpdesk with Fin, a natively integrated AI agent that handles customer conversations across multiple channels
Paid
Fin is trained specifically for customer service and integrated natively into the helpdesk, so the AI agent and human inbox share data and hand off conversations without the seams typical of third-party bolt-on bots.
The outcome-based pricing model charges $0.99 only when Fin actually resolves a conversation, which ties AI spend to measurable value rather than a flat subscription.
Zapier is an automation platform that connects apps and workflows, now including AI orchestration capabilities through Zapier MCP (Model Context Protocol)
