Which is cheaper, GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT?
Dated cells, 29 Aug 2026:
| Product | Cheapest verified country | USD | US |
|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub Copilot Pro | United States (same everywhere we date) | $10 | $10 |
| ChatGPT Plus | Philippines | $16.16 | $19.99 |
Plus still costs more than Copilot even at its cheapest country. Go at $8 US undercuts Copilot on sticker and does not live in your editor.
Live board: ChatGPT vs GitHub Copilot.
Student is the real Copilot cut
GitHub Education can zero Pro for verified students. Plus has no standing student plan. SheerID on Spotify or YouTube does not transfer here.
Gift cards fail Plus. Apple credit can pay Claude, not Plus.
A VPN cannot help either side
Copilot has no regional ladder. Plus does, and the ladder follows the account, not the IP. Skip the VPN.
