Longtime happy Copilot user here. It's true.
replyThe pricing is so good that it's the only way I do agentic coding now. I've never spent more than $40 in a month on Opus, and I give it large specs to work on. I usually spend $20 or so.
I'm not what I'd call a heavy user, but I've also mainly been using Copilot in VS Code on the basic sub.
replyYou do get Opus 4.6, and it's really affordable. I usually go over my limits, but I'm yet to spend more than 5 USD on the surcharges.
Not seen a reason to switch, but YMMV depending on what you're doing and how you work.
It is true, it's the official pricing of GitHub Copilot.
replyWhy is GitHub sticking to per-request pricing when other providers switched to per-token for the high performing models?
