Then how did Github cross 20M users and $500M revenue?
20M developers can’t be wrong.
GitHub Copilot just crossed a massive milestone—20 million all-time users, up from 15M just three months ago.
But the real headline?
It’s now bigger than all of GitHub was when Microsoft bought it.
And it’s not alone.
Cursor, a serious rival, is pulling $500M in annual recurring revenue—doubling from $200M just months ago.
Why does this matter?
Because it breaks the myth that “AI tools don’t make money.”
AI coding tools are not just generating revenue—they’re becoming essential infrastructure in enterprise software development.
Copilot is used by 90% of Fortune 100 companies.
Cursor has daily users in the millions.
Both are now building AI agents to take over dev workflows—bug catching, code reviews, even automation.
And the competition is heating up:
OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Cognition are all chasing the same market.
Code is no longer just written by humans.
It’s assisted, corrected, and—soon—created entirely by AI.
Something big is unfolding in dev land.
