How it works
Zed also includes real-time collaborative editing, so several developers can work in the same file at once, with shared terminals and voice. It supports many languages out of the box and uses a modern configuration system that is easy to share across a team.
The editor itself is free and open source. AI usage is billed separately, and the Zed Pro plan costs $20 per month with included AI usage and higher limits. Zed is a good choice if you value speed and a clean, modern editor over a huge extension library.
