How to Choose Which GitHub Copilot Tier to Buy

• GitHub Copilot, a popular AI assistant for software developers, is available in several tiers with varying features, large language model compatibility, and usage allowances.
• The highest tier, Enterprise, effectively costs three times more than the next lower tier because it requires GitHub Enterprise.
• Planned premium request usage charges will increase costs for some Copilot users.

Assistance provided by GitHub Copilot can save developers time while helping them produce more efficient and secure code. However, the increasing number of ways to purchase and use GitHub Copilot is making it harder to determine the most cost-effective option.

Developer Burden Reduced, Time Saved

GitHub Copilot can streamline developer workflows with AI-based assistance from large language models (LLMs) trained on code and other developer assets. The technology can automatically generate code for an application based on descriptive natural language comments and surrounding code provided by a developer. It also provides a conversational chat UI where developers can ask questions and issue tasks related to code and projects.
