Best Zed Alternatives in 2026

If you are weighing up Zed alternatives, the short answer is this: Cursor is the strongest all-round replacement for most people, Google Antigravity is the best free option, and Claude Code is the move if you want the agent doing the work instead of the editor hosting it. Zed itself is not in trouble. As of October 2026 it ships weekly releases, runs an ACP registry full of third-party agents, and has a business tier that finally gives administrators something to configure. The reasons people leave are usually about cost predictability, extension coverage and compliance paperwork - not quality.

Zed alternatives at a glance

Ten active tools that cover the same ground as Zed, sorted by what each is genuinely best at rather than by brand recognition. Every price below was read on the vendor’s own pricing page on 14 October 2026, and “Free plan” means a permanent tier you can keep using - not a time-limited trial.

Alternative	Best for	Free plan	Starting price	Main advantage	Main limitation
Cursor	Agent-heavy coding, VS Code style	Yes	$0, then $8/month	Autonomous and cloud agents, code review	Third-party model usage billed separately
GitHub Copilot in VS Code	Teams and enterprise governance	Yes	$0, then $10/month	SSO, SCIM, audit logs, huge extension market	Slower editor; training opt-out needed on individual plans
Devin Desktop	Agent-first work with cloud hand-off	Yes	$0, then $20/month	Agents are the default surface, not an add-on	Rebranded from Windsurf; Teams has an $80 base fee
Kiro	AWS teams, spec-driven delivery	Yes	$0 (50 credits), then $20/user/month	Credits are easy to forecast	Thin free tier; GovCloud about 20% dearer
Cline	Open source, bring your own key	Yes	$0, pay inference at cost	Apache 2.0, client-side, no subscription	You own the model bill
OpenCode	Free open-source terminal agent	Yes	$0	Any model, Copilot and ChatGPT sign-in	No GUI, no multiplayer
Google Antigravity	An agentic IDE at no cost	Yes	$0/month	Unlimited Tab completions and Command requests	Weekly rate limits on the free tier
Claude Code	Power users, agent throughput	No	$20/month (Claude Pro)	Best-in-class agent across every surface	Not in the free plan; costly per developer
Aider	Git-native pair programming	Yes	$0, pay model access	Commits, lints and tests every change	No GUI or debugger
Trae	Budget hosted-model access	Yes	$0, then $20/month	Pro bundles $20 of usage	Free tier is thin; ByteDance ownership

Why look for a Zed alternative?

The first reason is money, and it is not a close call. Zed’s own plan documentation shows Pro at $10 per month plus $5 of included monthly token credit, with a default incremental spend limit of another $10 - so a heavy month lands at $20 before you touch the ceiling, and anything above it bills at provider list price plus 10% (Zed’s plans and pricing documentation). That design is fair, but it is metered. Teams running long autonomous sessions will feel the difference against a plan with a predictable allowance.

Second, extensions. Zed’s gallery is healthy and its top entries are in the millions of installs, but it is a catalogue, not a marketplace. If your day depends on a specific VS Code extension, the odds are better that it works unchanged in Cursor, Kiro, Trae or Antigravity than that a Zed port exists.

Third, compliance. Zed’s SOC 2 page says the company is working toward SOC 2 Type 1 certification, and its own pricing FAQ states plainly that SSO, SAML and SCIM are planned but not currently available on Business (Zed’s official pricing page). For many companies that is a hard stop, not a checkbox.

Fourth, appetite. Zed is an editor with agents attached. If what you want is an environment where agents are the primary actor and you are the reviewer, Devin Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor all push harder in that direction.

Fifth, licensing. Zed’s repository states that the source is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later with Apache-2.0 components where marked, developed by the for-profit Zed Industries (Zed on GitHub). If your legal team prefers permissive licensing or wants to self-host without copyleft obligations, that alone can decide it.

How I chose these alternatives

Prices and features were checked against vendor pricing pages, documentation, changelogs and repositories on 14 October 2026. The comparison weighs agent capabilities, setup, total cost including metered usage, free-tier value, extensions, integrations, collaboration, customisation, reliability, privacy, platform support and migration effort.

Two exclusions are worth naming, because they would otherwise look like obvious picks. Continue.dev, the open-source coding agent many people were considering alongside Zed, was acquired by Cursor and its standalone product is discontinued; its own site now carries only an acquisition notice (Continue). And the Void editor is marked deprecated on its repository, with no longer accepting contributions. Recommending either would have been misleading.

Where a vendor publishes its own price, I used that. Where they do not - Zed’s Business seat price is the notable one - I have said so rather than quoting a figure from a comparison site.

1. Cursor - Best overall

Cursor is a VS Code-derived editor where the agent is the main event. Its pricing page lists a permanent Free plan with limited agent and chat requests, a $8/month Plus tier described as introductory, then Premium at $30/month with cloud agents, automations, code hosting and AI code reviews, Super at $100/month and Ultra at $200/month, plus Teams from $30 per user and Enterprise on contact (Cursor’s pricing page).

Best for: developers whose day is dominated by agent work rather than hand-editing.

Why it is a valid alternative: it matches Zed’s core pitch - a familiar editor with an agent panel, MCP support and cloud hand-off - while adding code hosting and automated review that Zed does not bundle.

Strengths. The tier ladder is the deepest here, from free to $200/month. It publishes a security page listing SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and AIUC-1, which matters if your buyers ask. It is also the only one of these products with a marquee owner change: Cursor confirmed in August 2026 that it had been acquired by SpaceX, completing a process that began with a SpaceXAI partnership in April (Cursor’s announcement that it is now part of SpaceX). Whatever that means for compute pricing later, it signals a serious resourcing story.

Limitations. Third-party model usage is billed separately from the subscription price, so your real bill is subscription plus token spend. Model access is tier-gated in ways that surprise people: the Plus plan lists Grok models only, with broader access starting at Premium. And an agent left running overnight is exactly the scenario where metered spend goes wrong.

Free plan and trial. The Free plan is permanent. Paid tiers are monthly; confirm any annual billing options with the vendor.

Compared with Zed. You get cloud agents, code review and a far larger extension base. You lose the native-speed editor feel and Zed’s multiplayer editing, and you pay more for a comparable week of agent work.

Verdict: the safest upgrade for an individual who wants more agent capability and does not care about raw typing latency.

2. GitHub Copilot in VS Code - Best for teams

Copilot is not an editor. It is the AI layer inside VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Vim, Neovim and Azure Data Studio, plus its own CLI. The pricing page lists Copilot Free with limited chat and agent usage, Pro at $10/month, Pro+ at $39/month, Max at $100/month, and Business and Enterprise for organisations (GitHub Copilot plans and pricing).

Best for: any organisation that needs SSO, seat management and pooled billing more than it needs editor speed.

Why it is a valid alternative: the workflow overlap is total. Inline completions, chat, agent mode, code review and a coding agent that opens pull requests all sit inside an editor your colleagues already use.

Strengths. Everything you would want at procurement level: SAML SSO, SCIM, audit logs, repository and model access policies, and org-wide spend controls on the business tiers. Extensions are the entire VS Code marketplace. The free plan is permanent and includes 2,000 completions a month with chat on top.

Limitations. VS Code is Electron-based and will feel slower than Zed on very large files. Copilot’s most interesting features are spread across several surfaces - CLI, agent mode, coding agent, Spaces - so the learning curve is real. And GitHub states that individual subscribers’ interactions may be used to train and improve models unless they opt out, which is a genuine difference from Zed’s default no-retention posture.

Compared with Zed. You trade Zed’s multiplayer editing and its no-training default for a governance story Zed cannot currently match.

Verdict: if your blocker was compliance paperwork, this is the answer.

3. Devin Desktop - Best for agent-first work

Devin Desktop is what Windsurf became. Cognition acquired Windsurf in July 2025, and on 2 June 2026 published “Introducing Devin Desktop - the next generation of Windsurf, built around Devin Cloud, the Agent Command Center, and a full IDE for when you need to jump into the code” (Cognition’s blog). The old windsurf.com address now serves Devin’s pricing page.

The next generation of Windsurf, built around Devin Cloud, the Agent Command Center, and a full IDE for when you need to jump into the code.

Current pricing (Devin’s plans and pricing): Free at $0 with light agent quota, limited model availability, unlimited inline edits and unlimited Tab completions; Pro at $20/month with frontier models from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and SpaceXAI plus cloud agents; Max at $200/month; Teams at $80/month for the team plan plus $40 per full developer seat, up to 200 users; Enterprise on contact with SAML/OIDC SSO and dedicated deployment options.

Best for: teams that want to hand work to a background agent and review it later.

Strengths. Agents are the default interface, not a panel. Local and cloud sessions share context. Spaces, Fast Context and Supercomplete are aimed squarely at long agent runs. The free tier is unusually generous for an agent product.

Limitations. The rebrand is recent, so much of the public guidance still says Windsurf. Teams pricing front-loads an $80 base fee. And Devin Desktop has none of Zed’s collaborative editing culture - the multiplayer primitives live in Cognition’s other products.

Compared with Zed. Zed puts the agent inside your editor; Devin Desktop puts your editor inside the agent’s workflow.

Verdict: pick it when “close the laptop and let it finish” matters more than millisecond latency.

4. Kiro - Best for AWS and spec-driven teams

Kiro is Amazon’s agentic IDE, built on the open-source Code OSS base so VS Code settings and habits carry over. Its pricing page lists Kiro Free at $0 with 50 credits, Pro at $20/user/month with 1,000 credits, Pro+ at $40 with 2,000, Pro Max at $100 with 5,000 and Power at $200 with 10,000, plus add-on credits at $0.04 each and an enterprise tier through AWS.

Best for: teams already committed to AWS, and anyone who likes writing the spec before the code.

Strengths. Credits are legible - you can forecast a month from a task’s credit cost. Steered files, Powers and agent focus mode give it a genuinely different shape from Zed’s free-form panel. Enterprise runs through IAM Identity Center with SAML and SCIM.

Limitations. Fifty credits a month is a real free tier but a small one. GovCloud pricing runs roughly 20% higher and drops the free tier entirely. And if you dislike writing a specification before generating code, the workflow is ceremony.

Compared with Zed. Similar monthly price for Pro, but Zed’s included credit resets monthly while Kiro’s does not roll over - a meaningful difference if you are light one month and heavy the next.

Verdict: the pick when the organisation runs on AWS and someone has to answer a procurement questionnaire.

5. Cline - Best open source, bring your own key

Cline is an open-source coding agent that lives inside your IDE and connects straight to model providers. Its pricing page is refreshingly short: free for individual developers, with no subscription and no seat fees - you pay for inference at cost or bring your own key, and enterprise is custom-priced for SSO, SLA, centralised billing, RBAC and audit logs (Cline’s pricing). The repository is Apache 2.0 licensed, maintained by Cline Bot Inc.

Best for: developers who want autonomy without handing their code to an AI vendor’s inference layer.

Strengths. Plan and Act modes mean the agent can explore before it edits. Every action is approved by default, changes are checkpointed, and MCP servers, scheduled agents, multi-agent teams and an SDK are all available. It also ships a CLI with headless mode, a desktop app and a JetBrains plugin.

Limitations. It is an extension, not an editor, so you inherit whatever host IDE you already have. Your token bill is entirely yours, and a runaway agent has no subscription cap standing between it and your invoice.

Compared with Zed. You move from a token-metered subscription to metered-as-you-go spend, but you also move from Zed’s collaboration layer to nothing - Cline has no multiplayer.

Verdict: the most defensible switch for anyone whose objection to Zed Pro is the billing model rather than the features.

6. OpenCode - Best open-source terminal agent

OpenCode is a free, open-source coding agent that runs in your terminal, as a desktop app and as an IDE extension. You can use its included free models, bring any of 75-plus providers through Models.dev, run local models, or sign in with GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT Plus/Pro. It ships build and plan agents, with plan mode read-only and asking permission before shell commands.

Best for: people who want an agent for free and already live in a terminal.

Strengths. No subscription, no seat, no vendor lock-in. Running in Zed as an external agent is a documented path if you want to keep the editor.

Limitations. The impressive numbers on its site - star counts, contributor counts, monthly developers - are the vendor’s own claims. There is no graphical multiplayer and no built-in debugger.

Compared with Zed. Zed gives you a whole editor; OpenCode gives you an agent you run inside whatever you like.

Verdict: the cheapest credible way to keep agentic coding running with no subscription at all.

7. Google Antigravity - Best free option

Antigravity is Google’s agentic development platform, spanning a desktop app, a CLI, an IDE and an SDK. Its pricing page lists an Individual plan at $0/month marked generally available, including access to a variety of agent models, unlimited Tab completions, unlimited Command requests and basic weekly rate limits, with higher limits through Google AI Pro and Ultra and a Business path via Google Cloud starting at $30 per seat per month.

Best for: anyone who wants a genuine agentic IDE without paying for one.

Strengths. It is free outright rather than free-with-a-timer, and the free allowance is more generous than most. The same agents are available across app, CLI and IDE, so you are not locked into one surface. The Google Cloud route gives organisations spend caps and admin controls.

Limitations. Free usage runs on basic weekly rate limits - fine for steady work, awkward during a crunch. Antigravity publishes no standalone paid price of its own; headroom comes bundled with Google AI plans. And it is a young product with none of Zed’s editing polish or collaboration.

Compared with Zed. You get an agentic IDE for nothing; you give up multiplayer editing, the extension gallery and the native feel.

Verdict: try this before you pay Zed Pro. If it carries your workload, the conversation is over.

8. Claude Code - Best for power users

Claude Code is Anthropic’s coding agent, available in the terminal, in VS Code, in JetBrains, as a desktop app and in the browser. Claude’s pricing page lists Claude Pro at $20 per month, or $17 per month with annual billing, and Claude Max from $100 per month, with Claude Code explicitly not included in the free plan.

Best for: people whose bottleneck is agent throughput rather than editor features.

Strengths. It is the most capable of this set at long, multi-file, tool-using work. It runs everywhere, including inside Zed itself - Zed’s external agent documentation lists Claude Agent in its ACP registry and states that Zed hosts the thread without charging for it. Anthropic also publishes unusually concrete cost guidance for teams. Our broader coverage of the underlying model is in our Claude review.

Limitations. It is not an editor, so it does not replace Zed’s canvas. It requires a paid plan. And Anthropic’s own documentation puts average enterprise use at roughly $13 per developer per active day and $150-250 per developer per month, which is a different order of magnitude from a $10 editor subscription.

Compared with Zed. Not really comparable - but as an addition to Zed it may be the best money you can spend.

Verdict: keep your editor, add this. Only move off Zed entirely if you barely use the editor at all.

9. Aider - Best terminal pair programmer

Aider has been doing AI pair programming in the terminal for years and is still actively maintained - the repository has recent commits adding newer model variants. It maps your codebase, commits every change with a sensible message, and lints and tests after edits, across more than 100 languages and with cloud or local models.

Best for: developers who think in commits and diffs rather than panels.

Strengths. Free and open source, with no seat or subscription. The git integration is the best in this list, which makes every AI change reviewable and revertible by habit. It installs everywhere, including Windows.

Limitations. No GUI, no multiplayer, no integrated debugger. You manage model access and context yourself. Browsing a large codebase is a worse experience than any editor on this list.

Compared with Zed. You are trading a fast editor for a disciplined workflow agent.

Verdict: a good second tool even if you keep Zed.

10. Trae - Best budget paid IDE

Trae is ByteDance’s AI-native IDE, built on the VS Code foundation. Its pricing page lists Free at $0 with auto mode only and limited usage, Pro at $20/month auto-renewing with $20 of monthly usage, unlimited autocomplete and up to 10 concurrent cloud agent tasks, Pro+ at $60/month, and Ultra at $200/month with model early access and up to 20 concurrent tasks.

Best for: wanting an all-in-one editor with hosted models without a big spend.

Strengths. The Pro bundle of usage credit plus unlimited autocomplete is a clear deal versus metered pricing. Concurrent cloud agent tasks are a real differentiator. The free tier is permanent.

Limitations. The free tier is restricted to auto mode with limited usage - thinner than Antigravity’s. Being a ByteDance product means a different privacy conversation than Zed’s no-retention default. And note that some third-party summaries list Pro at $10; the vendor’s own page says $20 monthly, which is the figure to plan against.

Compared with Zed. Comparable entry price with a bundled allowance, but fewer extension guarantees and less distinctive editing.

Verdict: reasonable if Antigravity’s rate limits bite and you want a flat-fee fallback.

Which Zed alternative should you choose?

1. You want the closest full-featured upgrade - Cursor, on Premium at $30/month if you need cloud agents, or Plus at $8/month if you are experimenting.
2. Your company needs SSO and audit logs this quarter - GitHub Copilot Business at $19 per seat per month.
3. You want an agentic IDE for nothing - Google Antigravity, free and generally available.
4. You are on AWS and like writing specs first - Kiro Pro at $20/user/month.
5. You refuse to pay per token again - Cline, free, open source, client-side, bring your own key.
6. You want a free agent that works everywhere - OpenCode, with your existing Copilot or ChatGPT sign-in.
7. You want the strongest agent and you live in the terminal - Claude Code on Claude Pro, with Max at $100/month if you need headroom.
8. You review every AI change as a commit - Aider, which is free and makes git the safety net.
9. You want agents to run while your laptop is closed - Devin Desktop on Pro at $20/month.
10. You want flat-fee hosted models on a budget - Trae Pro at $20/month.

When you should keep Zed

Keep Zed if any of these are true.

You are a solo developer or a small team that values editor responsiveness and real multiplayer editing more than cloud agents. Zed’s built-in collaboration - shared projects, following a collaborator, screen sharing - is something none of these alternatives replicate.

You already pay for model access elsewhere. The free plan supports Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Amazon Bedrock, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Mistral, Ollama, LM Studio, Vercel and more through your own keys, plus external agents over ACP and third-party edit prediction providers including GitHub Copilot and local models.

Your work needs the open-source editor rather than the open-source extension. Zed is a full product built in Rust with GPU-accelerated rendering; Cline and OpenCode are components that live inside someone else’s editor.

You do not need hosted models today and want the option later. A $10 monthly Pro subscription that includes $5 of token credit and unlimited Zeta edit predictions is not an expensive way to keep the door open.

When switching makes sense

Switch when your AI bill is the problem. Zed’s hosted usage bills at provider list price plus 10% on top of the subscription, and the default incremental spend limit sits at $10 per month. If your monthly number is consistently hitting that ceiling, a plan with a larger fixed allowance - Cursor Super, Copilot Pro+, Kiro Pro Max - will be easier to forecast than metered top-ups.

Switch when a missing extension is blocking you. This is the most common and least emotional reason. If a required linter, debugger or framework integration has no Zed port, moving to any VS Code-base editor - Cursor, Kiro, Trae, Antigravity - resolves it in an afternoon.

Switch when procurement says no. No SOC 2 Type 1 yet, and no SSO, SAML or SCIM on Business, is a hard stop in many regulated companies. Copilot Business or Enterprise, Kiro enterprise on AWS, or Devin Desktop Enterprise will get you through the questionnaire.

Switch when you want the agent to be the primary actor rather than a resident. If your instinct is “assign, review, accept” rather than “type, complete, type”, Devin Desktop and Claude Code are built for that and Zed is not.

Switch when licensing blocks you. GPL-3.0-or-later is fine for most work and wrong for some. Cline’s Apache 2.0 or OpenCode’s open-source core remove that argument entirely.

How to migrate without chaos

Migrate in this order, and you will lose a weekend rather than a month.

Move your agent layer first, not your editor. Zed’s ACP registry installs Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Poolside and Pi as external agents, and Zed does not charge for them. Stand up Claude Code or OpenCode alongside Zed and check the workflow feels right before touching anything else. If it does not, you have saved yourself the migration entirely.

Move your keybindings deliberately. Zed’s keymap is JSON, themes are JSON, and extension settings live in your Zed config. Export or copy those files before uninstalling, and expect to translate rather than import - the editors do not share a keymap format even when several are VS Code derivatives.

Expect no code migration. Your repositories are ordinary Git repositories. Branches, history, remotes and hooks move with you. The only things that do not move are your editor-level settings, your installed extensions and, if you used it, your Delta threads.

Re-add the three things you will miss. Zeta edit predictions, which Zed includes on Pro, Student and Business. Real multiplayer editing. And the ACP external agent panel, which is the part competitors keep trying to approximate.

Do not migrate your whole team at once. For an organisation, pilot the switch with two or three developers on Cursor Premium or Copilot Pro for a month, measure the AI bill against Zed’s, and only then decide. Editor migrations that go badly are almost always migrations that went all at once.

Final recommendation

Best overall: Cursor. It is the only product here that covers every angle - permanent free tier, a cheap $8/month entry, cloud agents, code review, a real security certification list - and it is the least likely to feel like a downgrade.

Best free: Google Antigravity. A genuinely available free agentic IDE with unlimited Tab completions and unlimited Command requests costs nothing to test.

Best for power users: Claude Code. If the agent is the bottleneck, this is where the leverage is - and you can run it inside Zed rather than replacing it.

Best for teams and enterprise: GitHub Copilot. SSO, SCIM, audit logs and pooled credits solve the problems Zed’s Business tier has not solved yet.

Best open source: Cline for a real product with MCP, checkpoints and a licence your legal team will not blink at; OpenCode if you want zero cost and a terminal-first workflow.

Who should stay on Zed. Developers who care most about editor speed and multiplayer collaboration, who already pay for model access elsewhere, and whose teams are small enough that $10 a month plus token metering is predictable. Zed is actively developed, ships weekly, and is not going anywhere.

Who should switch. Anyone whose AI spend has become unpredictable, anyone blocked by a missing extension, anyone whose compliance team needs SSO and SOC 2 today, and anyone who would rather assign work to an agent than drive one from a panel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Zed alternative overall? Cursor. It is the closest full replacement: a VS Code-style editor with autonomous agents, cloud agents and AI code review, a permanent free tier, and a $8/month Plus entry point. The catch is billing - third-party model usage sits on top of your subscription, so agent-heavy weeks cost more than they do in Zed.

Is there a free alternative to Zed? Google Antigravity has a permanent, generally available free tier with unlimited Tab completions and unlimited Command requests, subject to weekly rate limits. For a free agent rather than a free editor, Cline and OpenCode are both open source and free to install, but you supply the model.

Is Zed Pro worth $10 per month? It is worth it if you use Zed-hosted models and want unlimited Zeta edit predictions without thinking about it. Zed’s documentation shows the plan includes $5 of monthly token credit on top of the $10 subscription, with a default spend limit of a further $10 - so a heavy month runs to $20 before you touch the cap. If you mostly use your own keys, the free plan already covers the editor.

What is the best Zed alternative for enterprise teams? GitHub Copilot Business at $19 per seat per month, or Copilot Enterprise at $39. Both include SSO, SCIM, audit logs and pooled AI credits. Zed Business has the admin layer, but SSO, SAML and SCIM are not currently available and Zed is still working toward SOC 2 Type 1.

Do I have to give up Zed to use Claude Code? No. Zed’s ACP registry installs external agents, and Claude Agent, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Poolside and Pi are all listed in Zed’s own documentation. Zed hosts the thread in its Agent Panel and does not charge for external agents, though auth and billing stay with the agent vendor.

Which Zed alternative is cheapest for a solo developer? OpenCode or Aider cost nothing beyond whatever model access you already own, and Google Antigravity is free outright. If you want a hosted model without metering, Antigravity’s free tier or Cline with a subscription you already pay for are the lowest-friction options.

What happened to Windsurf? Cognition acquired Windsurf in July 2025 and rebranded it as Devin Desktop on 2 June 2026, folding it into the Devin product line around cloud agents and a full IDE. The old windsurf.com address now serves Devin’s pricing page.

Is Zed open source, and under what licence? Yes. Zed’s repository states that the source is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked, and Zed Industries is a for-profit company. That copyleft licence is the main reason some teams pick Apache-2.0 Cline or an MIT-style project instead.

What happened to Continue.dev? Continue was acquired by Cursor and the standalone product is discontinued. Its own site now carries only an acquisition notice, and the open-source codebase remains available as a foundation for others. If you were planning to migrate there, pick a different option.

Should I switch from Zed if I mostly use my own API keys? Probably not. Of all the Zed alternatives on this list, none will save you money if you already pay providers directly. Zed’s free plan supports bring-your-own-key across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, OpenRouter, Ollama and others, plus external agents and third-party edit prediction providers including GitHub Copilot. Switching costs you the editor’s speed and multiplayer before it saves you money.
