Free and open-source alternatives to Trae

Trae alternatives in detail

  1. Cursor

    freemiumIDE

    Cursor is an AI-first code editor forked from VS Code, so extensions, themes, and keybindings carry over. It layers on tab completion, inline natural-language edits, an agent mode that reads, writes, and runs commands across files, and parallel agents across repos and worktrees. Freemium: a free Hobby tier, with Pro and Teams raising included usage.

  2. Void — Open-Source AI Code Editor (VS Code Fork)

    open sourceApache-2.0macOS, Windows, LinuxIDE

    Void is an open-source AI code editor forked from VS Code, positioned as an alternative to Cursor and Windsurf. It connects directly to any model (cloud or local via Ollama) with no proprietary backend. Apache-2.0 licensed and built by Glass Devtools (YC-backed); the project's GitHub repo was archived on June 2, 2026 and active development is paused.

  3. Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf)

    freemiumIDE

    Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) is an agentic IDE built on a VS Code fork, rebranded by Cognition AI in June 2026. Its built-in Devin Local agent — which replaced Cascade — plans and executes multi-file edits, runs terminal commands, and pulls codebase-wide context; the rebrand made an Agent Command Center the default surface and added ACP support.

  4. Zed

    open sourceIDE

    Zed is a high-performance code editor written in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering, real-time multiplayer collaboration (shared cursors, voice, screen sharing), and integrated AI — inline completions plus an agent panel that connects to Anthropic, OpenAI, or local models through Ollama. Open source and free on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

  5. Kilo Code

    freemiumMITmacOS, Windows, LinuxExtension

    Kilo Code is an open-source (MIT) AI coding agent for VS Code and JetBrains that began as a Roo Code fork and was rebuilt on OpenCode for its v7 release in April 2026. It supports 500+ models with bring-your-own-key and zero inference markup, plus agents (Code, Plan, Ask, Debug), MCP servers, and inline autocomplete.
