Free Tier Value
Zed’s Personal plan is explicitly free forever and includes 2,000 accepted edit predictions plus unlimited use with your own API keys or external agents like Claude Agent. The paid Pro plan is $10/month and adds unlimited edit predictions plus hosted AI with $5 of token credits and usage-based billing beyond that; Enterprise is contact sales. Because this is a capped free tier, the conservative monthly value is $0 (the free plan is free forever, and the included AI quota is not priced on the page), with feature parity set to 50 since Pro-only hosted AI is clearly gated.
