Plans and Usage

Available Plans {#plans}

For costs and more information on pricing, visit Zed’s pricing page.

Zed works without AI features or a subscription. No authentication required for the editor itself.

Usage {#usage}

Usage of Zed's hosted models is measured on a token basis, converted to dollars at the rates lists on the Models page (list price from the provider, +10%).

Zed Pro comes with $5 of monthly dollar credit. A trial of Zed Pro includes $20 of credit, usable for 14 days. Monthly included credit resets on your monthly billing date.

To view your current usage, you can visit your account at dashboard.zed.dev/account. Information from our metering and billing provider, Orb, is embedded on that page.

Spend Limits {#usage-spend-limits}

At the top of the Account page, you'll find an input for Maximum Token Spend. The dollar amount here specifies your monthly limit for spend on tokens, not counting the $5/month included with your Pro subscription.

The default value for all Pro users is $10, for a total monthly spend with Zed of $20 ($10 for your Pro subscription, $10 in incremental token spend). This can be set to $0 to limit your spend with Zed to exactly $10/month. If you adjust this limit higher than $10 and consume more than $10 of incremental token spend, you'll be billed via threshold billing.

Once the spend limit is hit, we’ll stop any further usage until your token spend limit resets.
