GitHub Copilot's new credit pricing ate my entire monthly allowance in one afternoon — so I put it head-to-head with Claude Code. Same model, same prompt, very different results.

In this Claude Code vs GitHub Copilot comparison, I give both tools an identical task — implementing a compensating action with refund logic (plus test cases) in a Dapr workflow — running Anthropic's latest model, Claude Fable 5, on max effort. I break down Copilot's June switch to credit-based pricing, why a single prompt consumed roughly 600 credits (about 9% of my monthly allowance), how much faster Claude Code completed the same work, and what my real token usage looks like on the $20 and $200 Claude Code plans. I also cover the developer experience I'll genuinely miss from Copilot (that diff view!), whether AI coding agent prices are sustainable, and how to think about value when every agentic coding tool runs the same frontier models.

If you're a developer choosing between AI coding assistants — Copilot Pro, Claude Code, or Cursor — this one's for you.
