Open this AI tool now
https://www.trae.ai/Trae is ByteDance’s AI IDE and coding agent. It was recently reshaped: TraeWork and TraeCode have been merged into a single “all-new TRAE” that runs on desktop, web and mobile. Our verdict: it is a serious rival to Cursor and Windsurf, with a comparable entry price and a real free plan. Two things deserve a pause before you adopt it: its data policy, and the short list of countries where you can actually pay for it.
Two windows: one for agents, one for code
The new Trae is built around two windows. In the Agent window you launch several tasks at once, locally or in the cloud, and review the pull requests they produce. The IDE window is a familiar editor with terminal, debugger and Git, and it runs VS Code extensions, so your existing setup comes along. SOLO mode lets you describe a task in text or by voice; the agent plans it, writes and tests the code, then shows a preview and a summary of changes.
Tired of juggling ten tabs? ToolSuite bundles the AI workflow tools power users rely on — in one place.

Several built-in models are offered, and you can add your own with an API key.
Pricing: your subscription is your usage budget
The free plan has limited usage in Auto mode only, 5,000 completions a month and two concurrent cloud tasks. Pro is $20 a month, Pro+ $60 and Ultra $200. The key detail: the fee becomes usage credit. Pro buys $20 of usage, metered as tokens multiplied by each model’s list price, so long sessions on a top model can drain it within days. Refunds are only available within 24 hours and only if nothing was used.
Where you can use it, and where you can pay
Trae publishes two lists: countries where it is available, and the shorter list where paid plans can be bought. Across the Middle East and North Africa, paid plans are limited to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Palestine, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt. Users in Qatar, Kuwait or Jordan, for example, can use only the free plan. Egypt appears on the paid list but not on the availability list, a contradiction in Trae’s own docs, so check sign-up before relying on it. The docs exist in English, Chinese, Portuguese, Vietnamese and Indonesian. If you build right-to-left interfaces, ask the agent for a simple RTL form with numbers and check whether it sets dir and logical CSS properties properly.
Mind your data
A post on Trae’s blog says chats and code snippets may be stored and used for analytics, product improvement and model training unless Privacy Mode is on. It adds that some telemetry is collected even with Privacy Mode enabled, and that data is stored in the US, Singapore and Malaysia. For client or sensitive code, turn Privacy Mode on from day one, or consider an open-source option such as Kilo Code.
