The short answer

GitHub Copilot pricing in July 2026 runs from $0 to $39 a seat: Copilot Free ($0, capped), Copilot Pro ($10 a month), Copilot Pro+ ($39 a month), Copilot Business ($19 per seat) and Copilot Enterprise ($39 per seat). Since June 1, 2026 every paid plan also meters usage with GitHub AI Credits, where one credit is one cent. Code completions stay unlimited and free, but chat, agent mode, code review and the CLI draw down a monthly credit pool ($15 on Pro, $70 on Pro+), so a heavy month costs more than the sticker price. The flat-price way to run an agent on your repo, with no credit meter, is Agentcode at $29 a month.

GitHub Copilot plans and prices

Five plans, individual and organization. The column that decides your real cost is the AI Credit allowance: that is the pool chat and agent usage draws from before you start paying overage.

Plan	Price	AI Credits included	Best for
Copilot Free	$0 forever	No credit pool	Trying it out on personal projects.
Copilot Pro	$10 per month	$15 in AI Credits / mo	An individual developer.
Copilot Pro+	$39 per month	$70 in AI Credits / mo	A power user who lives in the agent.
Copilot Business	$19 per seat / mo	Org-pooled credits	A team that needs admin controls.
Copilot Enterprise	$39 per seat / mo	Org-pooled credits	A large org wanting Copilot across GitHub.

Prices and credit allowances as published by GitHub and checked in July 2026. Copilot also offers a $100 individual Max plan ($200 in monthly credits). GitHub changes this pricing often, so confirm on github.com before you buy.

What each Copilot plan gets you

Copilot Free

$0 · forever · No credit pool

A capped free plan: about 2,000 code completions and 50 chat requests a month, then it stops until the next month. Enough to evaluate the editor experience, not enough to lean on for real work.

Copilot Pro

$10 · per month · $15 in AI Credits / mo

Unlimited code completions and next-edit suggestions, plus a $15 monthly credit pool for chat, agent mode and the coding agent. Also billed at $100 a year. The credits are where a heavy month starts to cost more than the sticker price.

Copilot Pro+

$39 · per month · $70 in AI Credits / mo

Everything in Pro with a much larger $70 credit pool and access to third-party models such as Claude and Codex through the agent. Aimed at developers whose day is mostly agent runs rather than autocomplete.

Copilot Business

$19 · per seat / mo · Org-pooled credits

Seat-based for organizations, with policy management, IP indemnity and a credit balance pooled across the org rather than per user. GitHub points buyers to sales for the current pooled-credit terms.

Copilot Enterprise

$39 · per seat / mo · Org-pooled credits

Adds Copilot in more of the GitHub platform (knowledge bases, pull-request summaries, fine-tuned models on some plans) on top of Business, at a higher seat price. Credits are still pooled and metered.

How GitHub AI Credits change the bill

The plan price is only half the number. Since June 1, 2026 Copilot meters the parts most teams actually adopt it for, and understanding that meter is the difference between the price you expect and the price you pay.

One credit is one cent

GitHub AI Credits replaced the old premium-request counter on June 1, 2026. Pricing is now token-based: one credit equals a cent of model usage, and each paid plan includes a monthly pool, $15 on Pro and $70 on Pro+. When the pool runs out you either stop for the month or buy more credits at a cent each, capped by a budget you set.

Completions are free, agents are not

Plain code completions and next-edit suggestions do not draw credits and stay unlimited on every paid plan. What does draw them is chat, agent mode, Copilot code review and the Copilot CLI, and those are exactly the higher-value features teams upgrade for. A developer who lives in autocomplete may never touch the pool; one who runs the agent all day can drain it well before month end.

Model a busy month, not an average one

Because agent runs burn credits fastest, the honest way to budget Copilot is to price a heavy sprint, not a typical week. Estimate how many agent tasks a productive developer triggers when a deadline is close, multiply by the credit cost, and add the overage. That is the figure a finance team should approve, and it is usually higher than the plan price implies.

GitHub Copilot vs a flat-priced PR agent

Copilot is an in-editor assistant with a cloud agent bolted on; Agentcode is an async agent that opens pull requests and bills flat. They overlap less than the category name suggests, so here is where each one is genuinely ahead.

	GitHub Copilot	Agentcode
Billing model	Subscription plus a usage meter (AI Credits) since June 1, 2026	Flat subscription, no usage meter or per-task credits
Entry price	$10 / mo (Pro), $19 a seat (Business)	From $29 / mo, flat
What a busy month costs	More: agent runs and chat draw down the credit pool, then bill overage	The same as a quiet month
Code completion in the editor	Yes, unlimited on paid plans, and very good	No, this is an async PR agent, not an autocomplete
Opens pull requests	Yes, the cloud coding agent opens PRs, GitHub-hosted only	Yes, reviewable PRs on GitHub and GitLab
GitLab support	No, the coding agent is GitHub-only	Yes, GitHub and GitLab
Runs your test suite before the PR	In agent mode, within its sandbox	Yes, runs your existing suite and reports results in the PR
Trains on your code	No for Business/Enterprise; policy-controlled	Never, on any plan

Copilot wins clearly on editor autocomplete and its reach across JetBrains, VS Code and the GitHub UI. Where a flat plan wins is predictability and reach off GitHub: Agentcode runs the same async PR workflow on GitHub and GitLab for one monthly price, so a busy month and a quiet one cost the same. Many teams run both, autocomplete from one and async PRs from the other. For the full breakdown see the GitHub Copilot alternative page and the flat vs metered pricing comparison across every tool.

GitHub Copilot pricing: your questions answered

How much does GitHub Copilot cost?

GitHub Copilot costs $0 on the capped Free plan, $10 a month for Pro, $39 a month for Pro+, $19 per seat for Copilot Business and $39 per seat for Copilot Enterprise, as of July 2026. Since June 1, 2026 every paid plan also includes a monthly GitHub AI Credit allowance, so chat and agent usage past that pool bills as overage on top of the subscription.

Is GitHub Copilot free?

There is a free tier, but it is capped. Copilot Free gives you roughly 2,000 code completions and 50 chat requests a month, then pauses until the next month. It is enough to evaluate how the editor integration feels, not enough for daily professional work, which is what the $10 Pro plan and the seat-based team plans are for.

What are GitHub AI Credits?

GitHub AI Credits are the usage meter Copilot switched to on June 1, 2026, replacing the older premium-request counter. One credit equals one cent of model usage. Each paid plan includes a monthly credit pool ($15 on Pro, $70 on Pro+, $200 on Max), and chat, agent mode, code review and the Copilot CLI draw it down. Plain code completions stay unlimited and free.

What is the difference between Copilot Business and Enterprise?

Copilot Business is $19 a seat and adds organization controls, policy management and IP indemnity on top of the individual experience. Copilot Enterprise is $39 a seat and extends Copilot deeper into the GitHub platform, with knowledge bases, pull-request summaries and, on some plans, fine-tuned models. Both pool AI Credits across the organization rather than giving each user a fixed pool.

Does GitHub Copilot charge per use now?

Partly. The subscription is still flat, but on top of it Copilot meters agent and chat usage with AI Credits, so a productive sprint can cost more than a quiet week on the same plan. Code completions do not draw credits and stay unlimited on paid plans. The features that burn the meter fastest are agent runs and code review, which are exactly the ones teams adopt Copilot for.

Is GitHub Copilot worth it for a team?

For in-editor autocomplete across a whole team, Copilot at $19 a seat is a strong, well-integrated buy. The thing to model before you commit is the credit meter: estimate how many agent runs a productive developer triggers in a heavy week and price the overage, because that is where a Copilot bill moves. If predictability matters more than editor autocomplete, a flat-priced PR agent is worth comparing.

Is there a flat-price alternative to GitHub Copilot?

Yes. Agentcode charges a flat fee from $29 a month with no AI Credits and no usage meter: you describe a task, it plans, edits the code, runs your test suite and opens a reviewable pull request on GitHub or GitLab, for the same monthly price whether you run it once or fifty times. It does not do editor autocomplete, so it complements rather than replaces Copilot for teams that want both.
