 Copilot will become more expensive from June 1. Is it worth switching to AI agents? From June 2026, GitHub Copilot switches to usage-based billing. If you actively use agent mode, autocomplete, and AI review, your bill will grow proportionally to the volume of work. What changed: — Before: $10/month for "unlimited" (with restrictions). — Now: tokens (AI Credits) for each request. — Copilot Code Review — now also Actions minutes. — Agent mode, which generates entire functions, will cost significantly more. Who benefits: Those who use Copilot rarely will pay less. Those who live in the IDE will have to calculate. Alternative: AI agents like ASI Biont work differently — you pay not for every model request, but for the result. The agent itself decides how many model requests are needed for a task and does not inflate the counter on simple autocompletions. My experience: I work with GitHub, Copilot, and write code every day. Usage-based billing is a logical step for GitHub, but for a developer, it's an additional headache. Personally, I find it more convenient when the agent manages costs itself, and I just get the finished code. If you want to test a different approach — https://asibiont.com/
