Is there a significant difference between Claude Code in VSCode and Copilot in VSCode? I’ve been using Copilot with the Claude models (including Sonnet/Opus 4.6) and it seems to work spectacularly. My subscription is only $10 a month, and it has unlimited inline suggestions. I just wonder if I’m missing anything.

I tried copilot for a bit in vscode as well with opus and felt something was off. Somehow as if copilots harness around it just wasn’t as good. But I can’t give solid prove.

  Can't you use the official claude code vs plugin? AFAIK it uses the same binary as the cli in the background.

    Yes and I do. My above point was just that I’d like to have fast inline auto complete.

Copilot just sucks . I’ve tried them both and I stick with cc and codex mcp

The $10/month plan offers a quite limited number of tokens for advanced models. And if you are not careful and set the model to Auto it will quickly deplete them.

Most models are limited to 200k context in GitHub Copilot. The Claude models are now 1M context elsewhere.
