GitHub Copilot, the popular AI coding assistant, has moved to a new billing model. Users now pay for every token they use instead of a monthly subscription, which changes the final cost of development.
Has the AI coding assistant become more expensive?
It depends on how heavily you use it: light users may save money, while heavy users are seeing prices rise. You pay exactly for what you use.
