| Pricing | Team $4 USD per user/month for the first 12 months (3,000 CI/CD minutes/month, 2GB Packages storage, web-based support) · free tier: Free plan $0/month forever: unlimited public/private repositories, 2,000 CI/CD minutes/month (free for public repositories), 500MB Packages storage, community forum support; separate 30-day trial covering GitHub Enterprise, Copilot and Advanced Security | USD $20/month (Pro) · free tier: $0 — light agent quota, limited model availability, unlimited inline edits, unlimited Tab completions, 1 member, up to 10 concurrent sessions |
| Pricing model | Subscription with bundled allowance plus usage-based metered overage | Subscription with usage quotas and API-priced overage |
| Best for | Open-source projects and small-to-mid teams already standardised on GitHub.com running mostly Linux builds near their included minute allowance, who value one control plane for code, review, packages, scanning and CI and can absorb an occasional multi-hour CI stall. | Individual developers and VS Code-native small teams who want a full agentic IDE with multi-provider model access at $20/month, and heavy autocomplete users who benefit from unlimited free Tab. |
| Avoid if | You need CI to survive independently of your SCM or cannot tolerate ten-plus hours of pipeline downtime, you run heavy macOS/iOS build matrices where round-up billing at $0.077–$0.102 per minute bites, you are a mid-sized team whose only requirement is SSO and audit logging, or you need a firm three-year TCO today. | You need naming and roadmap stability for a long procurement cycle, do very large-context work, require a trial before committing, or need a published Enterprise price and predictable per-seat Teams cost. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
