What Is GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is Microsoft’s AI coding assistant available as a plugin across VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, Visual Studio, and Xcode. It offers inline autocomplete, chat assistance, and autonomous coding agents that can open pull requests from GitHub issues. With over 4.7 million paid subscribers it is the most widely used AI coding tool in the world.

Honest Review

GitHub Copilot Pro at $10/month is the best value AI coding tool available — half the price of Cursor with solid autocomplete and multi-IDE support. If you live in JetBrains or Xcode, it is your only real option. Important: GitHub added usage-based billing for AI Credits from June 1 2026 — heavy agent use will cost more than the base subscription. For VS Code-only developers wanting maximum AI power, Cursor at $20/month edges ahead.
