Salesforce-native
Cursor
IDE plugin
Clientell runs as a Salesforce-native tool. Setup is faster, data stays inside your Salesforce environment, and there is no separate auth or data-residency conversation. Cursor runs as an IDE plugin (Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf), so the integration is with your developer's local environment, not the Salesforce org itself. Useful for code-heavy work, irrelevant for the admin ticket queue.
