$10 GitHub Copilot Pro plan works for me in VSCode.

I've been exclusively using Claude Sonnet 4 model in VSCode and so far I've used 90% of the premium quota at the end of the months. I can always use GPT4.1 or GPT5-mini for free if need be.

Yeah, that's what I've been using since its release as well. I don't really see a point in trying the competition. It can't be better than this.
