Editorial snapshot from September 2026. Prices, models and interface labels may change; this is a practical guide, not a live product feed.

A native editor with its own agent, external agents and terminal threads.

Native editor · Zed Industries · macOS · Windows · Linux

Suitable workflows

Developers who want to choose their model provider or connect an existing coding agent.

Limitations and billing

External agents have their own authentication and billing; an editor subscription does not cover every agent.

Capabilities we verified

Agent workflow · MCP · Skills · Rules / instructions · Bring your own key · Local models · Parallel agents

This is an evidence-based shortlist, not an exhaustive feature inventory. Omitted capabilities have not been checked for this record.

Pricing & usage

Paid from $10/mo

Free editor / Pro + token usage. The cost of metered usage or an external agent can be separate from the subscription.

Models & access

Hosted, provider API, external-agent or local access; these are distinct configurations.

Verified families: Claude, GPT, Local.

Project evaluation checklist

  1. Open a small, familiar project and confirm that your essential language tooling works.
  2. Give the agent one bounded change with an observable acceptance criterion.
  3. Review the diff, run the project’s checks and compare the result with your current workflow.
  4. Inspect usage after the task. Estimate a month of similar work, including any separate model or agent bill.
