Short answer: usually yes for solo indies focused on scripting, prototyping, and maintenance. Copilot speeds up boilerplate, test generation, small scripts, and refactors—often saving 30–90 minutes per feature. Test it for a week and measure saved hours; if saved time × your effective hourly rate exceeds the subscription, it’s worth it.
