FAQ

GitHub Copilot pricing questions

Should teams start with Copilot?

Copilot is often easiest when the team already uses GitHub and wants broad IDE coverage.

How much does GitHub Copilot cost for 10 developers?

Using the tracked individual rates, 10 Pro subscriptions cost $100 per month, Pro+ costs $390 per month, and Max costs $1,000 per month. Business and Enterprise organization pricing requires separate verification.

Does GitHub Copilot usage add costs beyond the subscription?

It can. Premium usage beyond a plan's included allowance may change the total, so compare the subscription baseline with actual premium usage.

Should a team compare Copilot Pro with an organization plan?

Yes. Multiplying individual Pro seats is useful as a baseline, but teams that need organization controls should verify Business or Enterprise pricing and terms separately.
