GitHub Copilot official pricing in USD and PKR
GitHub lists Copilot pricing on github.com. There is a free tier, and paid plans start at USD 10 per month for individuals. The PKR figures below are approximations at the ~PKR 280/USD rate and change with the exchange rate.
| Plan | Official price | PKR approx |
|---|---|---|
| Copilot Free | $0 | PKR 0 |
| Copilot Pro | $10/month ($100/year) | PKR 2,800/month (PKR 28,000/year) |
| Copilot Pro+ | $39/month | PKR 10,900/month |
| Copilot Business | $19/user/month | PKR 5,300/user/month |
Paying yearly for Copilot Pro costs USD 100 up front — about PKR 28,000 — instead of USD 120 across the year, a saving of roughly 17%. These conversions are approximate; confirm the current PKR amount before paying.
What each Copilot plan includes
The free tier gives occasional code completions and a limited number of chat messages per month — enough to try the experience without paying.
- Copilot Pro: unlimited code completions, AI chat and Copilot agents inside your editor, for individual developers
- Copilot Pro+: adds more advanced agent capacity and premium models for heavier daily use
- Copilot Business: per-user pricing for teams, with organization management, policy controls and license reporting
Students and verified teachers get Copilot Pro free through the official GitHub Student Developer Pack — a legitimate PKR 0 way to use the full individual plan.
Copilot vs Cursor for Pakistani developers
Cursor is the other popular AI coding tool in Pakistan, and it is priced differently: it has its own free tier and paid plans. The right choice depends on whether you prefer AI assistance inside your existing GitHub workflow or an editor built around AI from the start.
- Copilot wins if you already live in VS Code or JetBrains and want GitHub-native features
- Cursor wins if you want an AI-first editor with strong agentic coding
Our full Cursor vs Copilot comparison for Pakistan covers the practical differences in pricing and workflow.
How to pay for GitHub Copilot from Pakistan
Copilot bills in USD through GitHub, and Pakistani debit cards are often blocked for foreign online payments — the same problem that affects Midjourney and other USD subscriptions. Our guide to paying for AI tools with a debit card in Pakistan explains the usual fixes.
If you prefer paying per use instead of subscribing, some developers run coding models through API credits instead — compare official API prices or buy API credits in Pakistan from a local supplier.
The simplest route remains ordering through a local service with a confirmed PKR price: message AI Tools Pak on WhatsApp (https://wa.me/923714549245?text=Hi%20AI%20Tools%20Pak%2C%20I%20need%20help%20choosing%20an%20AI%20tool.) to check today's rate and delivery time.
For teams that want AI code review and workflow automation set up properly, local AI automation services handle the integration.
