Qwen Code vs Zed: Features, Pricing and User Reviews 2026

Qwen Code offers separate pricing for individuals and teams, all based on monthly credits rather than a free plan.

• Lite ($6/month): 2,500 credits every 7 days and the ability to run 1 to 2 agents at once.

• Standard ($18/month): 10,000 credits every 7 days, 4 times the credits of Lite, and 3 to 4 agents running together.

• Pro ($68/month): 40,000 credits every 7 days, 16 times the credits of Lite, and 6 to 8 agents at once.

Yearly billing lowers the cost on all three plans. For teams, seat based plans start at $20 per seat a month for Standard, $75 for Pro, and $200 for Max, each adding more monthly credits and access to models like GLM-5, MiniMax-M2.5, and DeepSeek-V3.2.

Zed offers three pricing plans to suit different needs. The Personal plan is free forever and includes 2,000 accepted edit predictions, plus unlimited use if you bring your own AI API keys or connect external agents like Claude Agent and Codex.

The Pro plan costs $10 per month and includes unlimited edit predictions plus $5 worth of AI tokens each month. Once that credit is used, extra AI usage is billed based on how much you use.

For teams, the Business plan costs $30 per seat per month and adds organization-wide AI policies, data governance, unified spend visibility, and role-based access control, along with unlimited edit predictions. Organizations with 25 or more seats can request a custom order form.
