The default\, and now free to start.
Copilot suggests code as you type and runs agent tasks across a repository\, built into the editors and the GitHub workflow most teams already use.
The free tier with 2\,000 completions a month removes any reason not to try it\, and Pro at $10/mo is the cheapest serious AI coding subscription available. Dedicated AI-first editors go deeper on whole-codebase work; Copilot wins on integration and price.
