Gathering insights on your spending

Get insights into the usage of your enterprise members.

Who can use this feature?

Enterprise owners, organization owners, and billing managers

The enhanced billing platform is available to:

  • All enterprise accounts, and their organizations, created after June 2, 2024
  • Enterprises that participated in the public preview program

Beginning in September 2024, GitHub will migrate remaining enterprises to the new billing platform. Enterprises will receive a notice 30 days before their migration. See the GitHub blog.

The new billing platform provides you with the tools to:

  • Get insights into the usage of your enterprise members to understand how your resources are being used.
  • Generate reports on the usage of your enterprise members to import into your own tools for visualization and analysis.
