Thinking to try out Trae for a month, I don't know what plan is the best, I discovered and read through all the plans in detail, I could take the free trial for pro but that only allows a credit card I don't have one, well I am a power user, I mostly worked on GitHub co-pilot pro currently have cursor pro and Antigravity via Google pro, until they decided to absolutely pull back all the incentives and generous limits they once had, Need an IDE that isn't a blocker, My options are continuing Cursor Pro, take Trae Pro plus, or Codex via Gpt Plus. For some context, I actually tried the free version of Trae after signing up, it's fine but ofc limits are absolutely made for a small test on the free version, and yes I am a power user, around 6-7 hours each day (I don't use Opus for all tasks or Sonnet for all tasks) I am more towards auto for efficiency. Need suggestions thanks.

New on Windsurf just discovered a few days ago if I am being honest. I use Cursor Pro for most of the agentic Tasks I have, and I got large Codebases to work on, so I need something that is more generous and provides higher value, Cursor is fine to be honest but the limits and the quota are not at all generous given my use case. Can't afford spending 60 usd for Pro+ or 100+ bucks for claude code (it's great though but don't prefer a CLI anyways). Windsurf has a 20 usd pro plan too, I haven't yet availed my free trial, I am planning to do so after I get over with some commitments coming week, and then try it out myself, but just to get an idea of how useful would it be for an agentic AI user like me who atleast needs it for some heavy duty tasks on daily basis, around 2-4 hours a day. I used adaptive on Free tier, but that one adaptive request used 86% of my daily quota and 35% of the weekly quota, currently using the available free models like Kimi and SWE 1.5, used 1.6 which is no longer available and it's understandable.
