GitHub Copilot
The most widely adopted AI coding assistant, embedded in mainstream IDEs and the GitHub platform.
What is GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot established the AI coding assistant category and remains its most broadly deployed product. It provides inline completions, a chat interface and agent capabilities across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs and GitHub, with tight links to pull requests and repositories.
Compared with Cursor, Copilot works as an extension of existing editors rather than a replacement IDE, which lowers switching costs for teams standardized on their current tools. Cursor is often seen as more aggressive on agentic, codebase-wide editing, while Copilot benefits from GitHub's distribution and enterprise controls.
Pricing is accessible: a free tier with usage limits and Pro at $10 per month, with business and enterprise plans adding policy management. As with all assistants in this category, generated code requires review for correctness and security.
