Why subscribe to Copilot Plus Vs Using LLM API's

[TomSpoct]

I would like to understand the case for subscribing to Copilot Plus vs using copilot with API keys from the various LLM providers. Its not clear to me from the documentation and videos what the differentiating factor is for the subscription. Can someone illustrate use cases for Copilot Plus that cannot be implemented with LLM API's within Copilot Plugin ?

Here's the pricing page showing the differences, the landing page has more details. https://obsidiancopilot.com

Here's my yt channel, you can find the 2 copilot plus demo videos. https://www.youtube.com/@loganhallucinates/videos

Thank you Logan, I say both before but I think you may not make it clear anough the benefit of subscibing vs bring your own model in the videos you show what copilot plus can do but not what it can do that the bring your own API cannot do which would be the reason for people that already pay for API from the other providers. Can you tell me a few bullet points of what you cannot do with your own API that with Copilot Plus I could ?

Copilot Plus also allows "BYO API key", they are not opposed to each other. Copilot Plus has its own plus-exclusive chat and embedding models, but they are just the cherry on top, not the key offerings. The key offering is the AI agent experience with added tools, as listed on the landing page and demonstrated in the videos. None of those work in the free modes, e.g. image, PDF, youtube chats, and the upcoming Composer / inline diff apply, Autocomplete and "Projects".
