Cursor vs Heptabase

Which should you choose?

Cursor and Heptabase serve fundamentally different purposes and shouldn't be compared directly. Cursor is a code editor for developers who want AI-assisted programming—it understands your codebase and generates code through chat and completion. Heptabase is a knowledge management tool for researchers and students who think visually and need to organize complex information spatially. Pick Cursor if you write code professionally or are learning programming. Pick Heptabase if you're managing research, taking lecture notes, or building a visual knowledge graph. They don't overlap enough to have a winner.
