AI coding assistant by GitHub/Microsoft that provides inline code suggestions, chat, and code explanations directly in your IDE. Supports all major languages.
Our take
GitHub Copilot pioneered AI pair programming and remains the most widely adopted coding assistant. The VS Code and JetBrains integrations are mature and reliable, and the suggestion quality for common programming patterns is excellent. Copilot Chat adds conversational coding assistance within your editor. At $10/month (Individual) or $19/month (Business), pricing is competitive. Compared to Cursor, Copilot is less aggressive with suggestions but more predictable — it augments your workflow rather than trying to transform it. Best for developers who want reliable inline suggestions without changing their editor.
