About

Fast, open-source code editor written in Rust, with optional AI: use your own API keys or Zed-hosted models.

Why it ranks #8

Free, fast editor with optional AI; hosted-AI features cost US$10/month and it still has less agent autonomy than Claude Code or Cursor.

Ability to finish real tasks in large codebases, autonomy as an agent, workflow integration (terminal, IDE, GitHub) and cost for daily use.

Pricing
