Plans and Usage

To view your current usage, you can visit your account at zed.dev/account. Youll also find usage meters in-product when youre nearing the limit for your plan or trial.

Available Plans

For costs and more information on pricing, visit Zeds pricing page.

Please note that if youre interested in just using Zed as the worlds fastest editor, with no AI or subscription features, you can always do so for free, without authentication.

Usage

  • A prompt in Zed is an input from the user, initiated on pressing enter, composed of one or many requests. A prompt can be initiated from the Agent Panel, or via Inline Assist.
  • A request in Zed is a response to a prompt, plus any tool calls that are initiated as part of that response. There may be one request per prompt, or many.

Most models offered by Zed are metered per-prompt. Some models that use large context windows and unlimited tool calls (“Max Mode”) count each individual request within a prompt against your prompt limit, since the agentic work spawned by the prompt is expensive to support.

See the Models page for a list of which subset of models are metered by request.

Plans come with a set amount of prompts included, with the number varying depending on the plan youve selected.

Usage-Based Pricing

You may opt in to usage-based pricing for prompts that exceed what is included in your paid plan from your account page.

Usage-based pricing is only available with a paid plan, and is exclusively opt-in. From the dashboard, you can toggle usage-based pricing for usage exceeding your paid plan. You can also configure a spend limit in USD. Once the spend limit is hit, well stop any further usage until your prompt limit resets.

We will bill for additional prompts when youve made prompts totaling $20, or when your billing date occurs, whichever comes first.

Cost per request for each model can be found on the models page.

Business Usage

Email sales@zed.dev with any questions on business plans, metering, and usage-based pricing.
