What this page does not answer
We have not researched GitHub Copilot or Roo Code, and we track neither repository. Our catalogue holds a name, a category and a link for each, and nothing else that we have checked: no commit history, no licence, no release and no confirmed price. So this page states no difference between the two and names no winner, and we ask search engines not to index it until one of them has data. Tools enter the pipeline in the order people search for them, and this page changes on the next build after that happens.
How we check this page
We publish a fact only with the source we read it from and the date we read it. This page holds neither, so it holds no fact of ours.
