- Models23 Oct 2026
The "Models in Copilot → Available models" comparison table (Pro / Pro+ / Max columns) moved, so the three plan records store the complete live lineups — Pro serves 22 of the 34 listed models (up from 14 stored named rows / 31 catalogued) and Pro+ and Max serve all 34 (up from 23 / 48). Pro still does not get the GPT-6 flagships (Astra, Sol, 6.1 Sol), GPT-5.6 Sol or GPT-5.5, any Opus or Fable tier, or Gemini 4 Argon. The four removed models left every Copilot plan. Model options may vary by feature, so no per-feature availability is encoded. Prices ($10 / $39 / $100 per month), AI-credit ceilings ($15 / $70 / $200) and the base+flex credit split ($10+$5, $39+$31, $100+$100) are unchanged.

GitHub now serves Claude Sonnet 5.5 on every tracked Copilot tier: the supported-models availability table marks the model Included for Copilot Pro, Copilot Pro+, Copilot Max, Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise. Copilot publishes no per-token rates of its own, so the row carries Anthropic list ($2/$10/$0.20 cached read) as the comparability proxy the rest of the Copilot block uses.

- Policy28 Sept 2026
Site correction: the GitHub Copilot plans are recorded as locked to GitHub’s own Copilot surface rather than open to third-party clients. GitHub documents Copilot CLI’s Agent Client Protocol server for editor, IDE, CI/CD and custom-frontend integrations and publishes no subscription endpoint a third-party agent can authenticate against, so the plans are the assistant inside Copilot’s own clients. Prices, AI-credit allowances and model lists are unchanged.

- Price25 Sept 2026
Rate-provenance correction: the vendor block that prices Copilot’s third-party models cites the model owner’s own rate card, whose Standard table now reads $4.00 / $20.00 per 1M with cached input $0.40, so Pro+ and Max bill that instead of the retained list. Measured: cost per request $0.0131 -> $0.0262 and Req/$1 137 -> 68 (Pro+) and 153 -> 76 (Max). Sol’s rate on the Cursor plans was already the vendor’s $4/$20/$0.40 and does not move.

GitHub Copilot supported-models catalog lists Claude Fable 5.1; added to the Pro+ and Max plan model arrays alongside the existing Fable 5 entry (credits/fair-use — no per-token math).

Common questions
Which GitHub Copilot plan is cheapest?
GitHub Copilot Pro at $10/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — compare Req/$1 in the calculator.
How many plans does GitHub Copilot offer?
3 tiers tracked, 3 currently active. Every tier is in the plans table below with its price, models and usage ceiling.
What is GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot is GitHub’s AI coding assistant, available across VS Code, GitHub and agent workflows. Its plans bundle models from multiple vendors behind one subscription.
Which models do the Copilot plans include?
The tracked tiers list 7 models including Claude Sonnet 5, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.5 Flash and DeepSeek V4 Flash, with availability varying by tier.
Can I use Copilot plans with any agent?
Copilot works inside GitHub and VS Code tooling and with Copilot’s agent surfaces; it is not a standalone BYOK endpoint. The same frontier models are available through BYOK routers on TokenPlans.
How does Copilot billing work?
Plans grant total AI credits — a dollar-valued usage allowance that is the spendable budget, larger than the subscription price. The calculator models the allowance, not the price paid.
Who are the Copilot plans for?
GitHub-centric developers who want one assistant that can route across Claude, GPT and Gemini models, with an allowance bigger than the sticker price.
