GitHub Copilot vs Cline
从工作流、价格、隐私、模型支持和适用场景对比 GitHub Copilot 和 Cline。
资料核对于 2026年6月14日
GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot 是 GitHub-centered 开发者和团队的实用默认选择，适合想在 editor、repository、review 和 terminal workflows 中使用 AI coding support，但不想采用独立 AI IDE 的场景。
Cline
Choose Cline when you want an open-source, human-approved coding agent inside your existing editor and terminal with strong model flexibility and MCP extensibility. Choose a hosted AI IDE if you want predictable bundled pricing and a polished all-in-one editor, or a CLI agent if you prefer terminal-only Git workflows.
核心差异
工作流
GitHub Copilot 是主流 AI code assistant 和开发者 workflow layer，适合希望在现有编辑器、GitHub repositories、pull requests 和 terminal workflows 中使用 AI 支持的团队。
Cline is an open-source, model-flexible AI coding agent for developers who want agentic file editing, command execution, browser use, MCP tools, and human-in-the-loop control inside existing development environments.

隐私与安全
GitHub Copilot
GitHub 表示 Copilot Business 和 Enterprise 数据不会用于训练 GitHub models。对于个人 Free、Pro、Pro+ 用户，除非用户在设置中 opt out，GitHub 可能会使用 Copilot interaction data 来改进模型。团队在部署前应查看最新的 GitHub Copilot privacy 和 data retention 文档。
Cline
Cline runs client-side in the user’s development environment, but prompts, code context, terminal output, browser data, and tool results may be sent to the selected model provider or Cline Provider depending on configuration. Cline’s terms say telemetry data may include non-code metadata and is enabled by default but can be disabled in extension settings. BYOK privacy depends on the selected third-party provider, so users should avoid exposing secrets, customer data, private keys, production credentials, or regulated data through prompts, terminal output, browser sessions, MCP tools, or local files included in context.
