 GitHub announced: from June 1, 2026, Copilot switches to usage-based billing. Instead of a fixed subscription — AI Credits that expire. The more actively you use the AI assistant in code, the faster the balance melts. For teams where Copilot is integrated into CI/CD or the daily work of ten developers — this is not just a tariff change, but a direct blow to the budget. I analyzed the new model: each request to Copilot now consumes credits. Refactoring, code review, test generation — everything goes to waste. If your team writes 500+ requests per day (which is normal for an average product team), the monthly bill could increase by 2-3 times compared to the current subscription. And here the question arises: why pay for a tool that does exactly the same thing as open-source alternatives with local launch? ASI Biont works differently: no usage-based billing, no credits that expire at the end of the month. You get 1500 tokens to start for free, without linking a card. Analyze code, data, trends — as much as you need, without a counter for each request. Copilot has become a convenient but expensive toy. ASI Biont is a working tool that won't bankrupt the team. Try it yourself: a free start with 1500 tokens is already waiting at https://asibiont.com/
