What GitHub Copilot is

What sets it apart deep GitHub integration plus a catalog of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models

Best for developers already living inside GitHub and VS Code · Pricing model freemium; Pro $10, Pro+ $39, Max $100 individual; Business $19 and Enterprise $39 per seat; usage-based credits

GitHub Copilot works across VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio, and the CLI, with chat, agent mode, and code completions. In June 2026 it moved to usage-based AI credits, so completions stay unlimited on paid plans while agent, chat, and review calls draw from a monthly credit pool. The free tier gives 2,000 completions per month; paid individual plans run from Pro at $10 to Max at $100.
