With the enhanced billing platform, you pay monthly for the number of GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Advanced Security licenses you use. You will not need to buy a predefined number of licenses in advance.
If a user starts consuming a license during the month, you will pay pro rata for the user's license usage that month. If a user stops consuming a license during the month, your bill for the following month will reflect the change.
Pending invitations to join an organization that belongs to your enterprise on GitHub do not consume a license.
Visual Studio subscriptions with GitHub Enterprise is currently not supported for usage-based billing.
Which payment methods can I use?
You can use the following payment methods for usage-based billing for licenses:
- Invoiced and self-serve GitHub Enterprise customers can pay using a credit card or PayPal
- Invoiced customers can also pay using prepaid credits (only available to customers who have a volume subscription with or without metered add-ons)
- You can connect an Azure subscription to your enterprise account
- For purchase orders, you can contact your account manager in GitHub's Sales team
