Copilot Generates. Qodo Reviews.

GitHub Copilot accelerates code generation. Qodo adds the quality layer — reviewing AI-generated code with full codebase context, enforcing standards, and catching issues before they ship. Use both for speed and quality.

I have a few questions…

Qodo and GitHub Copilot serve different purposes in the development workflow. Copilot excels at code generation — helping developers write code faster. Qodo focuses on code review — ensuring that code (whether human-written or AI-generated) is production-ready with full codebase context, compliance checks, and automated quality workflows. Most enterprise teams use both: Copilot for speed, Qodo for quality.

Qodo isn’t a Copilot replacement — it’s a complement. But yes, Qodo offers a free plan for individual developers that includes test generation, code review, and auto-documentation. Many developers use Qodo’s free tier alongside Copilot to add a quality layer to AI-generated code.

Absolutely. Qodo is designed to work alongside AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and others. While those tools help you write code faster, Qodo reviews that code with full codebase context — catching issues, enforcing standards, and ensuring quality before code ships.
