A curated collection of GitHub Copilot alternatives for developers, teams, and organizations.

Recent changes to AI coding assistant pricing, usage limits, and licensing models have prompted many developers to re-evaluate their tooling choices. This repository aims to provide an objective reference for the growing ecosystem of AI-powered coding tools.

> ### 🧩 Try the companion VS Code extension
>
> This repo also ships a free, open-source VS Code extension — **[Copilot & BYOK Usage Tracker](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=feima.copilot-alternatives)** — that puts this directory in your sidebar, tracks your usage, and manages BYOK providers:
>
> - **Usage tracking** for GitHub Copilot **AI credits** and BYOK token/cost usage (DeepSeek, Mistral, OpenRouter, Qwen, Kimi, GLM/Z.ai, MiniMax, MiMo, and more), per vendor and per model
> - **Session history & analysis** — browse past chat sessions with full turn-by-turn token, latency, and tool-call detail
> - See a **Monthly Credit Quota** tile against your actual Copilot plan allowance
> - **BYOK key management** — add, edit, and remove providers visually, no hand-editing `chatLanguageModels.json`
> - Browse this entire 100+ tool directory from the Activity Bar
>
> 📖 See [`EXTENSION_README.md`](EXTENSION_README.md) for full feature details, or install it directly from the [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=feima.copilot-alternatives).

The focus is on solutions that support one or more of the following:

- AI-powered IDEs
- Terminal and CLI coding agents
- VS Code extensions
- JetBrains plugins
- Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) solutions
- Open-source coding assistants
- Self-hosted and privacy-focused options
- Multi-model platforms
- Enterprise and team-oriented solutions

### How to Use Manually

1. Open a `.chatLanguageModels.json` file from the table above
2. Copy the entire contents (a JSON array `[...]`)
3. Paste it into your `chatLanguageModels.json` (append to existing array, or replace it entirely)
4. Open VS Code's **Chat: Manage Language Models** command
5. For each group, click the gear icon and enter your API key
6. VS Code encrypts the key in the OS keystore and replaces `"YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"` with `"${input:chat.lm.secret.xxx}"`

> **Tip:** You can also import templates programmatically via the companion VS Code extension. Run `BYOK: Add Provider` from the command palette. See [`byok-templates/README.md`](byok-templates/README.md) for details.

### Choosing a Coding Plan

**Consider these factors when selecting a plan:**

1. **Usage intensity** — Light users may find free tiers sufficient; heavy users often benefit from subscriptions or pay-per-use APIs
2. **Model preference** — Different plans emphasize different models (Claude vs GPT vs Gemini vs GLM vs DeepSeek)
3. **Integration needs** — IDE-native plans vs. CLI tools vs. multi-model API plans for BYOK tools
4. **Privacy requirements** — Some plans train on user data; check data policies for sensitive codebases
5. **Budget predictability** — Fixed subscriptions vs. variable API costs

**Cost optimization tips:**

- Use smaller/faster models (Haiku, GPT-5.2 Mini, DeepSeek Flash, Qwen-Coder) for routine tasks
- Be precise with prompts to reduce token consumption
- Monitor usage dashboards to avoid unexpected charges
- Multi-model plans (BytePlus, Alibaba, Z.ai) offer high quotas at competitive prices
- Local models via Ollama eliminate per-token costs entirely (requires capable hardware)

2. Configure custom models following the [Use BYOK models guide](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/customize-copilot/use-byok-models)
3. Supported providers include Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Azure OpenAI, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
4. Add your API keys via environment variables or configuration files
5. Use `gh copilot` in your terminal with your chosen model

### From GitHub Copilot to Cursor
1. Install [Cursor](https://cursor.sh) — it's a VS Code fork, so your extensions and settings transfer
2. Sign in and choose your preferred model (Claude, GPT-4o, or BYOK)
3. Cursor imports your VS Code `keybindings.json` and `settings.json` automatically

### From GitHub Copilot to Continue (VS Code, BYOK)
1. Install the [Continue extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Continue.continue)
2. Add your API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or point to a local Ollama instance)
3. Configure `~/.continue/config.json` to set your preferred model and context providers
4. Inline completions replace Copilot's tab-complete; `Ctrl+I` opens the chat panel

### From GitHub Copilot to Aider (CLI)
1. `pip install aider-chat`
2. Set your API key: `export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...` or `export OPENAI_API_KEY=...`
3. Run `aider` in your repo — it reads your git history for context
4. Use `/add <file>` to include files in context, then describe changes in plain English

### From GitHub Copilot to Codeium (drop-in free replacement)
1. Uninstall the GitHub Copilot extension
2. Install [Codeium for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Codeium.codeium) or the JetBrains plugin
3. Sign up for a free account — no credit card required
4. Autocomplete and chat work out of the box with no API key needed

### Going fully local (privacy-first)
1. Install [Ollama](https://ollama.com) and pull a coding model: `ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b`
2. Install [Continue](https://continue.dev) in VS Code
3. Point Continue at `http://localhost:11434` (Ollama's default endpoint)
4. All inference runs on your machine — no data leaves your network
