View our security standardsLurus Code vs GitHub Copilot
With Lurus, work on tasks rather than just the next line: understand context, follow a plan and inspect changes. In VS Code and the CLI, with multiple model providers and clear boundaries for your team.
One free week for Pro, Pro+ and Ultra. Paid subscription afterwards unless you cancel beforehand. Usage and features depend on your plan and credit.
Copilot now offers far more than autocomplete: chat, agent mode, CLI, cloud agent and reviews. The differences lie in the product workflow, GitHub integration, and cost and privacy models.
A task is more than one line
Copilot can work agentically too. This is the Lurus approach: follow a task through your project and inspect the result yourself.
Meet the coding agentResearch relevant files and their connections.
Break the task into understandable steps.
Inspect changes and run appropriate tests.
Not just answers. Work on your project.
Lurus connects context, planning, changes and verification in your development workflow. You set the direction and review the result.

01 / In your editor
Work with Lurus in VS Code: use files and selections as context, describe a change and let the agent work on your project. Inline Edit helps with focused adjustments.
Explore the workflow
03 / Before the merge
Inspect changes with the code review workflow. Use findings as a starting point for improvements and review the final diff yourself – an agent does not replace approval.
Explore the workflow
Product captures show example projects. Features depend on your plan. Multi-agent orchestration requires Ultra and available credit; tests and human review remain necessary.

The direct comparison
No benchmark and no winner scoring. This compares documented product approaches; availability and limits may vary by plan, model and surface.
Work together. Keep usage intentional.
No seat or team base fee on the Team model. You pay for actual model and AI feature usage from a shared balance. Admins manage monthly member budgets and model access.
Lurus pricing and terms€0 does not mean free AI usage. Individual plans have their own subscriptions and limits. Converting an account to Team is permanent; it cannot return to individual plans.
GitHub Copilot
Copilot has free and paid individual plans. Business and Enterprise charge for seats with included AI credits; further usage may cost extra. Inline suggestions should not be confused with credit-consuming agent work.
Current provider pricingYour code stays yours
Lurus documents Zero Data Retention for source code and request context, and no model training. The contracting party is in Germany. Processing regions are disclosed per model route – not every route is EU-only.
GitHub Copilot
GitHub documents no model training on Copilot Business/Enterprise data. Individual plans have different data settings. Retention depends on surface, feature and model; no training does not automatically mean Zero Data Retention for every workflow.
Read the provider documentationNo. Copilot also offers agentic changes, CLI, cloud agent, reviews and MCP. Lurus is not positioned against an outdated Copilot, but as its own coding workflow with documented data paths and usage-based team billing.
Lurus offers models from different providers in one workflow. Selection and cost depend on the current catalog, your plan and available credit. Team admins can restrict allowed models. Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf and Cline also offer multiple models – that alone is not a unique advantage.
Not generally. Pro, Pro+ and Ultra offer a one-week trial followed by a paid subscription unless you cancel in time. The Team model has no seat or team base fee; actual AI usage is paid from the shared balance. Conversion to Team is permanent.
Not exclusively: the context needed for AI processing is transmitted. Lurus documents Zero Data Retention and no model training for this data. Providers and processing regions are disclosed per route. Review the Security page, privacy policy and DPA for the precise scope.
No. AI agents can make mistakes. Inspect changes, run appropriate tests and retain your review and approval processes. This comparison does not claim measured superiority in speed or code quality.

Lura is the language model adapted by Lurus for coding tasks. It uses separate Lura credits provided in addition to your regular model credits.
