How to Cancel Trae
Sign in at trae.ai, open your account Subscription settings and cancel - the plan runs to the end of the period and the IDE keeps working free. Access runs to the end of the paid period. Steps, refund rules, gotchas and what to use instead.
On the web (trae.ai)
- Sign in at trae.ai and open your account.
- Go to Subscription / Billing.
- Choose Cancel subscription and confirm.
What happens after you cancel
- Pro features run until the end of the paid period.
- The IDE keeps working - it is free; only the fast-request allowance drops to free limits.
- Unused fast requests do not carry over or refund.
Refund policy
Trae does not advertise partial refunds and treats a paid period as final once it starts; EU and UK customers keep the 14-day withdrawal right. For a mistaken renewal, ask support within days.
The gotchas that trip people up
- The IDE is free anyway. Only the fast-request pool is paid - many people never needed Pro.
- Uninstalling the IDE does nothing. Billing lives in the account, not the app.
Why people actually cancel
Three reasons come up over and over in the threads complaining about this:
- Free tier is generous. The monthly fast-request allowance covers casual use.
- They moved editors. Cursor, Windsurf and Zed shuffle AI-coding users constantly.
- Subscription fatigue. Another $10/mo tool on top of everything else.
If that is why you are leaving
If the reason is cost or juggling, the answer is not another single-tool subscription, it is consolidation. Krater Pro is $20 a month and covers agentic coding with Claude, GPT and DeepSeek models plus agent workflows in one flat workspace. Browse the full model list. Teams get 5 seats on Max for $119 flat instead of per-seat billing.
The free tier keeps the full IDE with a monthly fast-request allowance.
