What it is

GitHub Copilot adds code completions, chat and an agent mode to VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio and GitHub itself, plus a cloud agent that works on issues and pull requests. Paid plans include a monthly allowance of AI credits (1 credit = $0.01), with completions unlimited. Since the June 2026 move to usage-based billing, heavy chat and agent use can exhaust the allowance quickly, so costs are less predictable than before.

Standout capability

Deepest integration with GitHub issues, pull requests and the major IDEs.

Best for

Community sentiment

What people praise

Reviewers like how seamlessly it fits into existing IDEs and GitHub workflows, and say it removes a lot of boilerplate and test-writing grind.

What people complain about

Since the June 2026 switch to AI credits, many users report burning through their monthly allowance in days, and suggestions still need careful checking on large codebases.
