GitHub Copilot
GitHub / Microsoft
The default AI pair programmer inside your editor and GitHub.
Coding $10/mo
AI Coding Tools
AI code assistants, editors, and agents. The key split is IDE assistant vs agentic editor vs CLI agent vs prompt-to-app builder.
How to choose
If you want inline completions inside your existing editor and GitHub, use GitHub Copilot. If you want whole-repo agentic editing, use Cursor (or Windsurf for a better free tier). Terminal-first developers should try Claude Code or Aider. Non-developers shipping an MVP should use a prompt-to-app builder (Lovable, Bolt, v0).
