From their overall FAQ:
> Q: Will Zed be free?
> A: Yes. Zed will be free to use as a standalone editor. We will instead charge a subscription for optional features targeting teams and collaboration. See "how will you make money?".
> Q: How will you make money?
> A: We envision Zed as a free-to-use editor, supplemented by subscription-based, optional network features, such as:
- Channels and calls
- Chat
- Channel notes
We plan to offer our collaboration features to open source teams, free of charge.
It seems to me that they're just going to charge for Zeta if they do, because it... costs them money to run.
Unlike others (e.g. Cursor), they've opened it (and its fine-tuning dataset!), so you can just run it yourself if you want to bear the costs...
They did something similar with LLM use, where for simplicity they gave you LLM use, but you could use them directly too.
