GitHub Copilot

★ 5/5 · Free LLM/IDE

GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI coding assistant. It suggests code in the editor, answers questions in chat, and (on paid plans) can run an agent that opens a pull request from an assignment.

Pros

Lives where most developers already work (VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, GitHub.com). Official Free, Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise plans on github.com/features/copilot/plans. Agent features are documented on those GitHub pages.

Cons

Full agent and premium-request features sit on paid plans
usage limits and model access change by SKU. Not a standalone IDE (unlike Cursor). Copilot Studio from Microsoft is a different product.

Cost

Official github.com/features/copilot/plans (USD, monthly): Free $0; Pro $10; Pro+ $39; Max $100. On github.com/features/copilot: Business $19/user/month; Enterprise $39/user/month.

Verdict

The default AI pair-programmer if your team is already on GitHub. Cursor remains the AI-native IDE alternative.
