FAQ
Trae uses a "Freemium" pricing model. Exact prices, feature quotas, trial terms, and regional availability can change between versions — validate the fit on a free tier or trial before paying, and treat the vendor's pricing page as the source of truth.

Evaluate Trae on three axes: pricing model (currently Freemium) versus your budget structure; platform coverage (Desktop) versus the devices and collaboration style of your team; and core capabilities (Builder mode, Chinese experience, Free credits) versus the critical steps in your actual workflow.
