About billing for your enterprise

With GitHub Enterprise Cloud, your enterprise account is the central point for all billing within your enterprise, including the organizations that your enterprise owns. Users with the enterprise owner or billing manager role can view and manage billing settings for the enterprise.

To pay GitHub, you will add a payment method to your enterprise account. This can be a credit card, PayPal, or a Microsoft Azure subscription.

If you created your enterprise account with help from GitHub's Sales team, you may have agreed to pay by invoice. Each invoice includes a single charge for all of your paid GitHub Enterprise Cloud services and any GitHub Enterprise Server instances.

As a new enterprise, you will be on GitHub's new billing platform, which allows you to estimate spending, create cost centers to track expenses across business units, and pay flexibly for the licenses you need.

What is included in my bill?

Each month, you will be billed for:

  • The number of GitHub Enterprise licenses you use, determined by the number of unique users in your enterprise
  • Any usage of features like GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces, beyond the allowances included in your GitHub Enterprise plan
  • Any extra features you purchase, such as GitHub Copilot or GitHub Advanced Security licenses

For prices and monthly allowances, see GitHub Pricing.

Adding a payment method

To pay for licenses and services, you can use a credit card, PayPal, or a Microsoft Azure subscription. For instructions, see Überprüfen deiner Zahlungs- und Abrechnungsinformationen.
