What you get

Free Copilot plan for individual developers in VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio and CLI; completions, limited chat and agent usage

Free models

The page this row is verified against names no free model, so the column stays empty; callable ids, where the row has them, are under Connect.

Limits, in the vendor’s words

GitHub folded its Copilot billing-concepts page into the plans page on or before 2026-08-20 and restated the figures there. Inline suggestions are “limited to 2000 completions per month on Copilot Free”; for everything agentic, “Copilot Free and Copilot Student both have an allowance of AI credits” — an allowance GitHub numbers for every paid plan (1,500 monthly credits on Pro, 7,000 on Pro+, 20,000 on Max) and leaves unnumbered for Free, whose row in the plans table reads only “An allowance of GitHub AI Credits” and “Limited” agents. Model choice is not offered: “on Copilot Free and Copilot Student plans, access to models is available through auto model selection only”. The plan is still scoped to developers no employer covers — “Copilot Free plans are only available to individual developers who don’t have access to Copilot through an organization or enterprise” — but the list of business features it withholds went with the old page and is not on this one (read 2026-08-20)
