Bottom Line
Catalog updated: August 2026
Codeium (Legacy: merged into Devin Desktop) and GitHub Copilot both compete in Coding, overlapping most directly on coding. Codeium (Legacy: merged into Devin Desktop) runs on a freemium model while GitHub Copilot runs on a paid-only plan, which alone may settle it if budget or a free tier is a hard requirement.
Choose Codeium (Legacy: merged into Devin Desktop) if…
Best for historical reference for developers evaluating Codeium's legacy free-tier autocomplete; the current product and pricing now live under Devin Desktop, and its edge is a free tier covering 70+ languages and 40+ IDEs at no cost. The best free alternative to Copilot, though it's since folded into Windsurf's pricing, check current terms before assuming it's still standalone. Lean toward GitHub Copilot instead if trained on billions of lines of code and wired directly into your editor matters more for your use case.
Choose GitHub Copilot if…
