About pricing for Copilot in your organization

Subscriptions to Copilot Business are available on a monthly cycle. The subscriptions are billed at the end of each cycle, at 19 USD per user per month.

About the billing cycle for Copilot in your organization

Billed users are calculated at the end of each billing cycle, based on the number of GitHub Copilot seats that are assigned. You can add or remove seats at any time during the billing cycle.

  • Any seat assigned part way through the billing cycle will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the cycle.
  • Any seat assignment removed during a billing cycle will take effect from the beginning of the next cycle. The person will still be able to use GitHub Copilot until the end of the cycle. If a user's access to the organization itself is removed, they will lose access immediately.

If your organization belongs to an enterprise, your enterprise will be charged on whichever payment method you’ve set up for the organization account, such as a credit card or a Microsoft Azure subscription.

Note

GitHub kann eine temporäre Autorisierungssperre für den Wert der nutzungsbasierten Kosten im Voraus anwenden, die als ausstehende Gebühr in der Zahlungsmethode des Kontos angezeigt wird.

Note

GitHub Copilot billing operates in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), but it calculates your bill according to the timezone of your billing cycle. For example, if you're billed through Azure and your current billing cycle ends at 11:59 PM EST on December 1st, canceling a seat at 7:00 PM EST on December 1st might show the seat cancellation at 12:00 AM UTC on December 2nd. However, the seat would end within the billing cycle that you requested the cancellation, and you would not pay for that seat in the following cycle.

About seat assignment for Copilot in your organization

A GitHub Copilot seat is a license to use GitHub Copilot, which is granted to a unique user account through an organization's GitHub Copilot Business subscription. Each month, the organization is charged for the number of assigned seats.

Removing all assigned GitHub Copilot seats in your organization will cancel your organization's Copilot subscription.

Seat assignment is managed by organization owners. See "Gewähren des Zugriffs auf Copilot für Mitglieder Ihrer Organisation."

If you are a member of an organization with a GitHub Copilot subscription, to use the subscription, you will need to be assigned a seat by an organization owner.

Wenn Sie über eine aktive GitHub Copilot Individual-Subscription verfügen und Ihnen dann im Rahmen einer Subscription von GitHub Copilot Business oder GitHub Copilot Enterprise ein Arbeitsplatz zugewiesen wird, wird dein persönliches GitHub Copilot-Abonnement automatisch gekündigt. Du erhältst eine anteilige Rückerstattung für ggf. verbleibende Teile des aktuellen Abrechnungszeitraums deines persönlichen Abonnements. Anschließend kannst du GitHub Copilot gemäß den auf Unternehmens- oder Organisationsebene festgelegten Richtlinien weiterverwenden.

About billing through Azure

When you connect an Azure subscription to your organization account and enable metered billing via Azure, metered usage will start to be sent to Azure. You will be billed through GitHub for usage from the start of the current billing cycle to when you enabled metered billing via Azure, on your next billing date. The period between the date you connected your Azure subscription and enabled metered billing via Azure, and the end of the calendar month will be charged in Azure on the first of the month. For more information, see "Herstellen einer Verbindung mit einem Azure-Abonnement."

Note

Usage data is sent to Azure daily, but you are billed at the end of the month based on the number of seats used. This means that although you can track your daily spending (number of seats in this case), actual payments are processed monthly.
