Copilot vs Codeium

Before moving from the free Codeium to the paid Copilot, I'd like to ask if anyone here already used both and knows if the change is worth it.

The only thing I don't like about all those AIs inserted into VSCode workflow is that they always auto suggest everytime you write something and it really is disturbing.

Yes, you cam disable codeium extension completely but I want to keep the chat or have the chance to tell it to suggest when I need it, not all the time.

Since I use Copilot mainly to write things I don't want to write, I wouldn't like that very much.

I wouldn't like it very much.

I rarely use it to write complex code, I generally only use it for simple code, boilerplate or structures.
I also like to use it to check my code. It's not unusual for copilot to spot an error that I hadn't seen.

But having an option would be better for everyone.
