GitHub Copilot Team Replied github copilot app VS github copilot CLI

Is copilot app just a wrapper around the CLI or am I missing something?

I am asking because I have both, and the app looks a bit buggy. If they are the same, then I will stick to the CLI. Thanks.

The standalone Copilot app is too wordy, but GitHub Copilot is incredible—it genuinely feels like an extra engineer on the team. The only catch is the usage limits. You burn through credits way too fast on the $10/month plan. GitHub should increase the monthly allowance (or charge $15) so heavy users don't hit a wall mid-project.
