Free tier	Zed Personal: "$0 forever", "Unlimited use with your API keys or external agents like Claude Agent, Codex CLI, and more", quoted unit unlimited; metered on wall-clock; free-product
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	not stated
Identity	anonymous (placeholder) unverified: no page stating the signup requirement was read; the record's evidence covers the Personal tier's '$0 forever' price, its unlimited use on your own API keys or external agents, and that the vendor serves no tokens on it, and states nothing about whether installing the editor requires an account at all, nor about an email, phone, card or ID document
Binding	none nothing binds because the vendor serves no model on this tier; the ceiling is the endpoint the client points it at.
Interface	rest, cli inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	a $0 editor that accepts external agent CLIs is the cheapest way to drive a free inference endpoint from this corpus; the editor is free and the tokens come from whichever vendor is granting them.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Zed is a desktop application, so its free lane needs a machine. The vendor serves no tokens on the free tier, which is the fact the word free hides.
Evidence rung	documented
