I think it's likely the other way around, a product like Copilot is actually much cheaper than if you were to build off of OpenAI's API. ChatGPT, the product, will be much cheaper than if you actually ran the API yourself. Some context is that I work for a company that builds a product called Codeium, that's a free Copilot alternative. If we were to use OpenAI's API, we computed our costs would be high 100s of dollars a year per user (we've opted for something more custom / in house).
