What is Trae?

Trae is an AI coding platform made up of TraeCode, an AI IDE with unlimited autocomplete and SOLO mode on every plan, and TraeWork, an AI work assistant that runs cloud tasks on the web and desktop. Higher plans raise how many cloud tasks can run at once, from 2 on Lite to 20 on Ultra.

Each plan includes a set amount of usage rather than a credit count, starting with $5 of usage on the $3 Lite plan and $20 of usage on Pro, with Pro+ and Ultra offering 3.5x and 20x Pro's usage. Yearly billing saves 25%, and enterprise plans are sold through BytePlus. If you're comparing it with other coding tools, see these Trae alternatives.
