GitHub Copilot Has a Free Tier That Autocompletes Code in Every Major IDE

GitHub Copilot has a free tier — 2,000 completions and 50 chat messages per month. Works in VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, and CLI.

Free vs Paid

Feature Free Individual ($10/mo)
Completions 2,000/month Unlimited
Chat 50/month Unlimited

Copilot Chat Commands

  • /explain — explain code
  • /fix — fix bugs
  • /tests — generate tests
  • @workspace — ask about codebase

CLI

gh copilot suggest "undo last 3 git commits keeping changes"
gh copilot explain "find . -name '*.log' -mtime +30 -delete"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The Bottom Line

Free tier makes Copilot accessible to everyone. 2,000 completions/month is enough for learning and hobby projects.
