TRAE

TRAE brings AI-assisted development and work tools together through TRAE IDE and TRAE Work. TRAE IDE pairs its IDE mode with SOLO, an autonomous coding agent for end-to-end tasks. Users can build custom agents and assign them as sub-agents for complex work, while Model Context Protocol integrations let agents reach external resources. SOLO integrates with Vercel for deployment and Vercel AI Gateway model access; TRAE IDE and SOLO also connect to Supabase services and Supabase MCP for backend and project operations. The Free plan includes 5,000 autocomplete requests per month and two concurrent cloud tasks. A 14-day Pro trial is available to new users who add a payment method within 48 hours of signup. TRAE says codebase files remain local, though files can be temporarily uploaded for embedding during indexing before plaintext is deleted. Enterprise states that code is encrypted in transit, not stored on its servers, and not used to train models; it is SOC 2 Type 2 certified. The Enterprise page lists repository indexing for up to 100K files and 150M lines of code.

TRAE combines an AI-assisted IDE with an AI work assistant, custom agents, and integrations for development workflows. Review the listed plan terms and trial eligibility before choosing a tier.

TRAE IDE is designed for software developers and engineering teams; TRAE Work is described as an AI workspace for professionals. It may suit users seeking agent-based coding workflows and integrations with Vercel or Supabase.

TRAE is a development environment that combines a conventional IDE with autonomous coding and a separate AI workspace for professionals. It is best suited to developers and engineering teams that want agents, model choice and project integrations in one workflow. The free tier is a useful way to assess the approach, while paid plans mainly differentiate themselves through usage allowances and simultaneous cloud tasks.

Overview

TRAE IDE brings together an IDE mode and SOLO, an autonomous coding agent intended to handle end-to-end tasks. You can create custom agents and use them as sub-agents for more involved work, then give those agents access to external resources through Model Context Protocol integrations. That makes TRAE more than a code-completion tool, although the value of agent-heavy work depends on the concurrent-task ceiling attached to your plan.

TRAE Work is positioned as an AI workspace for professionals, whereas TRAE IDE is aimed at software developers and engineering teams. They address different jobs: a professional seeking a general work assistant should evaluate TRAE Work separately from the coding environment.

Key features

IDE and autonomous workflow

The IDE offers multiple models, codebase indexing, a built-in terminal and extension support. SOLO can pursue a task across the project rather than merely suggest the next line, and custom agents let teams shape repeatable roles or divide complex work among sub-agents. This is a strong fit for developers who want AI involved in implementation and project operations; users who only need occasional completions may not benefit enough to justify a higher tier.

Project integrations

TRAE agents can reach outside services through MCP integrations. SOLO integrates with Vercel for deployment and Vercel AI Gateway model access, while the IDE and SOLO connect to Supabase services and Supabase MCP for backend and project operations. Those connections are most useful when deployment and backend work already centers on Vercel or Supabase, rather than for a workflow that avoids those services.

Code handling and enterprise controls

Codebase files are stored locally, but files can be uploaded temporarily for embedding during indexing; plaintext is deleted after that process. Enterprise states that code is encrypted in transit, is not stored on its servers or used to train models, and that the service is SOC 2 Type 2 certified. Enterprise repository indexing supports up to 100,000 files and 150 million lines of code. IDE and plugin availability is listed for enterprise, while CLI and VPC deployment are marked coming soon, so organizations requiring those deployment options should account for that limitation.

Pricing

TRAE uses a freemium structure. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 5,000 autocomplete requests per month plus two concurrent cloud tasks. It is the sensible starting point for individual developers evaluating the IDE and agent workflow, but the autocomplete allowance and task concurrency can constrain frequent or parallel use.

Pro has no listed price and includes $20 of basic usage, unlimited autocomplete and 10 concurrent cloud tasks. Pro+ also has custom pricing, raises basic usage to $60 and concurrent cloud tasks to 15, while Ultra has custom pricing, $200 of basic usage and 20 concurrent cloud tasks. These tiers suit teams whose bottleneck is simultaneous cloud work rather than autocomplete; moving up buys capacity, not a different core product.

Lite costs $3 a month, billed monthly, with $5 of basic usage plus bonus usage and premium model availability. It is a low-cost option for users who want premium models, but it gives up the unlimited autocomplete and much larger basic-usage allocations of the higher tiers. A 14-day Pro trial is available to new users who add a payment method within 48 hours of signing up, making eligibility and the payment-method requirement important before relying on the trial.

Platforms

TRAE supports iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Desktop downloads include macOS and Windows packages, Linux .deb packages and an iOS download. The product information also identifies Windows support for the IDE, so buyers should confirm that their preferred desktop setup matches the edition and workflow they need.

Who it's for

Software developers and engineering teams are the primary audience for TRAE IDE, especially those willing to delegate multi-step work to SOLO or build custom agent workflows. Professionals looking for an AI workspace may prefer TRAE Work. The Free plan fits light individual use; Lite targets budget-conscious users seeking premium models; and Pro, Pro+ or Ultra make more sense when concurrent cloud tasks and included usage are central to the workload. Enterprise is the relevant path for large repositories and formal security requirements.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Autonomous task execution: SOLO extends AI assistance to end-to-end coding tasks instead of limiting it to autocomplete.
• Customizable agent structure: Custom agents and sub-agents can be organized around complex engineering work.
• Useful ecosystem connections: Vercel and Supabase integrations connect coding, backend operations and deployment in supported workflows.
• Accessible entry point: The Free plan provides 5,000 monthly autocomplete requests and two concurrent cloud tasks at no cost.
• Enterprise safeguards: Enterprise states encryption in transit, no server storage or model training use, SOC 2 Type 2 certification and very large indexing limits.

Cons

• Indexing privacy trade-off: Files may be temporarily uploaded for embedding, which can matter for sensitive codebases.
• Uneven plan clarity: Pro, Pro+ and Ultra have no listed prices, making budget comparison difficult.
• Concurrency remains gated: The Free plan allows only two concurrent cloud tasks, and higher limits require costlier tiers.
• Trial qualification is narrow: The 14-day Pro trial requires both new-user status and a payment method added within 48 hours.
• Enterprise deployment gaps: CLI and VPC deployment are not yet available.

Verdict

Choose TRAE if you are a developer or engineering team that wants autonomous coding, custom agents and Vercel or Supabase connections alongside a full IDE. Its free tier lowers the barrier to evaluation, and higher plans provide substantial autocomplete and concurrent-task capacity. Look elsewhere if transparent paid pricing, strict no-upload handling during indexing, or immediately available CLI and VPC deployment is essential.
