Freemium · $20/moByteDance's AI IDE with a SOLO mode for hands-off building
What is Trae?
Trae is an AI code editor from ByteDance with chat, autocomplete and an agent that can build features end to end. Its SOLO mode plans, codes and previews an app with little input. A free plan includes generous autocomplete, and paid plans add a monthly usage balance.
Trae is based on VS Code, so extensions and settings carry over. Builder and SOLO modes let the agent create files, run commands and show a live preview, while cloud tasks can run in parallel on paid plans. It supports MCP servers and custom agents, and offers several frontier models through its own billing.
