The short version
GitHub Copilot's plans (per github.com/features/copilot/plans, checked 2026-08-31): a free tier with 2,000 completions and 50 chat requests per month, Pro at $10/month with a $15 monthly credit allowance, Pro+ at $39/month with $70, and Max at $100/month with $200 in credits. Code completions stay unlimited on paid plans, but agent-driven and premium-model work draws down the credit allowance. Nexum Router is $5.50/week — about $22 a month — with no credit allowance to drain: no hourly windows, no weekly caps, and 20 models included.

When to pick which
Copilot is excellent as an in-IDE assistant, and its unlimited completions cover everyday autocomplete. The credit allowances bite when you run sustained agent workflows — the kind Copilot's own Max tier describes. If that is your workload, Nexum Router gives agent CLIs an unmetered flat-price backend: the median Nexum user routed 43.2 million tokens in the last measured week, and the heaviest routed 14.3 billion, all at $5.50.
