Pros

  • Provides free verified student, faculty, and open-source maintainer plans.
  • Integrates natively with major IDEs like VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Vim, and Neovim.
  • Ensures Copilot Business and Enterprise subscriber data is never used to train GitHub models.
  • Includes an autonomous agent mode to plan, explore, and execute tasks across multiple files.
  • Allows users to switch between multiple leading LLMs optimized for cost, speed, or accuracy.
  • Enables Copilot code reviews for pull requests on github.com across entire organizations.

Cons

  • Free plan users are restricted to 2,000 completions and 50 chat requests.
  • Individual plan subscriber data (Free/Pro/Pro+) may be used to train models unless users manually opt out.
  • Chat functionality is not supported directly in vim, neovim, or Azure Data Studio IDE extensions.
  • Coding suggestions may be less robust or frequent for languages with low public repository representation.
  • Enabling pull request code reviews for non-licensed users incurs additional organization metered charges via AI credits.
