GitHub Copilot Pro
The incumbent AI coding assistant — $10/mo for GPT/Claude/Gemini via AI credits.
Conclusie
GitHub Copilot Pro at $10/month is the cheapest serious Western AI-coding subscription, and the most widely deployed. Since 2026-06-01 it bills via AI credits across GPT, Claude and Gemini. It is a useful midpoint between Cursor ($20) and the cheapest Chinese plans — but the same model access remains available far more cheaply through the Chinese alternatives listed here.
