GitHub Copilot Individual vs Business

GitHub Copilot Individual ($10/month or $100/year) is for personal use. GitHub Copilot Business ($19/user/month) is for organizations and managed through the organization's billing. If your employer pays for Copilot Business, you cannot cancel it individually - your organization admin controls access.

Alternatives worth considering

  • Cursor - AI code editor with a free tier. Strong alternative to Copilot.
  • Codeium - Free AI code completion tool. Works in most editors.
  • Amazon CodeWhisperer - Free for individual developers. Works in VS Code and JetBrains.
