TRAE is ByteDance's AI-powered coding IDE, a VS Code fork that ships an agentic in-editor experience plus TRAE SOLO, a fully autonomous coding agent available on Desktop and Web. IDE mode keeps the traditional editor workflow with inline agentic capabilities (CUE next-edit prediction, unlimited autocomplete, MCP tool integration, a built-in preview tab that lets agents interact with the browser and read console logs), while SOLO mode delegates end-to-end tasks across the development lifecycle with concurrent cloud tasks. Supports custom and built-in agents with planner / sub-agent composition, a shareable agent ecosystem, and codebase-grounded context. Positioned as a direct alternative to Cursor and Windsurf. Pricing is freemium (Free download + paid Lite $3, Pro $10, Pro+ $30, Ultra $100 per month as of April 2026); SOC 2 certified with regional deployments in the US, Singapore, and Malaysia. Evolution of ByteDance's earlier MarsCode product.
