Trae
Trae offers TraeCode, an AI coding IDE, and TraeWork, an AI work assistant that runs cloud tasks, both available as downloads with free and paid tiers.
About this tool
Trae is a set of AI tools for developers and knowledge workers. TraeCode is an AI coding editor positioned as an engineering partner that collaborates with you inside your workflow, with features such as autocomplete, context-aware assistance and building and deploying projects. TraeWork is a separate professional assistant for broader work tasks that can run jobs in the cloud.
Both products are downloadable applications. Trae’s paid plans differ mainly in how much model usage they include and how many cloud tasks TraeWork can run at the same time, from ten to twenty concurrent tasks on higher tiers. The pricing FAQ explains that different models consume usage differently and covers what happens when an AI request fails.
