Pricing Details

Zed offers a Personal free plan with no built-in AI but lets you use your own API keys (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc.) and includes 50 prompts monthly plus up to 2,000 edit predictions. The Pro plan costs $20/month per user and adds Zed’s AI-powered Agentic Editing with 500 prompts included, unlimited editing suggestions, and usage-based billing after the 500 prompt limit (charged after $20 extra usage or monthly cycle). It also provides community support and a 14-day or 150-prompt free trial. The Enterprise plan is custom-priced for larger teams and adds advanced analytics, SSO, enhanced security, consolidated billing, and premium support. All plans support private API keys. Users should note that each AI interaction counts as a prompt, and some modes may count multiple requests as one prompt. If you go over the Pro limit, usage billing automatically kicks in with configurable spending caps to avoid surprises.
