GitHub Copilot costs $10/month or $100/year for individuals, and $19/month per seat for businesses. It autocompletes code in your editor. But GitHub now offers a free tier with 2,000 completions/month, and open-source alternatives like Codeium are completely free with unlimited completions.
GitHub now offers Copilot Free with 2,000 code completions and 50 chat messages per month. If you're a hobbyist or occasional coder, this might be enough. Cancel the paid plan and switch to Free before paying $10/month.
GitHub Copilot is completely free for verified students (via GitHub Education), teachers, and maintainers of popular open-source projects. If you qualify, you're paying for something you could get free. Check education.github.com.
