GitHub Copilot vs Claude Code for people who ship products

ProvenStartups indexes 49 revenue cases that name Claude Code and 5 that name GitHub Copilot. Read the five and it gets starker: only one was actually built with Copilot. That is not a verdict on the tools — it measures which tool's users publish revenue numbers. Treat the Copilot column as thin evidence, not a scoreboard.

Which side has more revenue evidence, and what does that prove?

Claude Code, 49 cases to 5. The honest version is sharper. Of those five Copilot records, only BlogToPin names GitHub Copilot as the tool the product was built with. The other four mention Copilot as a rival, a sales objection, a product name, or a tool that did not exist yet.

That matters because of what the count measures. Across 406 indexed cases, a project joins a tool's set when the tool is named anywhere in its record. The number tracks disclosure — who said out loud what they built with and what it earns — not productivity.
