any good github copilot alternatives? (quex.cc)

Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I'm using VSCode but not wedded to it.

I know, just not sure the quality it offers and I am 99% sure that they train it on the piles which is a huge nearly 1 petabyte dataset that includes GitHub code. They are likely doing the same thing GitHub did when training copilot.
