GitHub Copilot Free Tier

How Amo and Pimi look
Don't wag your tail yet, Pimi — as of 2026-06-24, model selection on the Free and Student plans is locked to "Auto" only. Free users get downgraded and can't even choose — you tell me, is that fair?
Unfair as it may be, you're missing a big point – with student verification, Pro is free, the best student deal on the entire site, bar none!
So, do you need to pay or not?
Students: Pro is free after certification, no reason not to use it. General developers: Free version with 2,000 completions to get started, upgrade to Pro for US$10/month after writing every day. However, it's a fact that free and student plans can only use Auto-select models, so if you mind, you can pay for it.
