Trae benchmark

The cheapest paid plan in the index by a wide margin, and it is not a crippled tier: the free allowance completed most of a full run of the spec. Quality sits below the leading agents, mostly on the operational prompts, and the run to run spread is wider than the price suggests you should expect. Good value, not a leader.
