Metered access: licensing and rollout
GitHub Copilot access (Enterprise Cloud licensed): licensing, availability and billing
Eligible sales-managed enterprises only; gradual rollout from October 28, 2026. Not available to self-serve customers, GitHub Free/Team organizations or self-service Enterprise Cloud trials. Enterprise owners must assign seats; a license does not automatically grant Copilot access. $0/seat/month only for users with an existing GitHub Enterprise Cloud license; Copilot Standalone costs $10/user/month without that license. No included AI credits: metered usage is billed from the first use at $0.01 per AI credit, with model/task-dependent consumption. Inline completions and next edit suggestions remain unlimited and do not consume credits. Same feature and model eligibility as Copilot Enterprise, subject to policies, enabled models and spending controls; the model list is a verified subset, not an exhaustive promise. Both access options may coexist, but the entire enterprise must use this billing model: cannot combine with Business or Enterprise seats. Transition is voluntary via the account team and takes effect on an agreed first day of a month. No annual price is published. Fable models require the documented data-retention safeguards; no automatic ZDR entitlement.

Usage is separate from the plan fee
Paid plans include unlimited code completions and next edit suggestions without spending AI credits. Chat, agents, code review and other AI features consume credits at model- and task-dependent rates. For plans with an included allowance, additional paid usage is optional and budget-controlled. Metered access has no included AI credits: usage is billed separately from first use, subject to licensing and rollout restrictions above.
Frequently asked questions
Are GitHub Copilot credits the subscription price?
No. Pro costs $10/month, Pro+ $39/month and Max $100/month. Their current total allowances are 1,500, 7,000 and 20,000 AI credits per month. One credit equals $0.01 of AI usage; flex allotments can change.
Is annual billing discounted?
The current reviewed sources establish monthly prices, not an annual price or discount. No annual savings are assumed.
Do all plans include every model?
No. Free and Student use automatic model selection. Paid plans have different model access, and feature or administrator restrictions apply. Each plan page lists an exact current, verified subset, not an exhaustive model menu. API successor models are never assumed to be included.
What is free for students?
Copilot Student is free for verified students. It uses automatic model selection and excludes third-party agents. Verified teachers and eligible open-source maintainers may qualify for free Pro access instead.
How do Business and Enterprise usage limits work?
Each granted seat contributes credits to an organization-wide pool. Administrators control budgets, paid overage and model enablement. Enterprise requires GitHub Enterprise Cloud; GitHub Enterprise Server is not supported.
