About the 30-day trial for GitHub Copilot Individual
Before starting a paid subscription for a personal account, you can set up a one-time 30-day trial to evaluate GitHub Copilot. To begin a trial, you will need to choose a monthly or yearly billing cycle, and provide a payment method. If you do not cancel the trial before the end of the 30 days, the trial will automatically convert to a paid subscription.
You can cancel your GitHub Copilot trial at any time during the 30 days and you won't be charged. If you cancel before the end of the trial, you will continue to have access to GitHub Copilot until the 30-day trial period ends. For more information, see "Canceling your Copilot trial as an individual user."
Note
If you were part of the free GitHub Copilot technical preview that was run between July 2021 and June 2022, you are not eligible for a 30-day trial.
About changes to your Copilot subscription
If you have an active GitHub Copilot Individual subscription, and are then assigned a seat as part of a GitHub Copilot Business or GitHub Copilot Enterprise subscription, your personal GitHub Copilot subscription will be automatically canceled. You will receive a prorated refund for any remaining portion of your personal subscription's current billing cycle. You will then be able to continue using GitHub Copilot according to the policies set at the enterprise or organization level.
You can cancel your Copilot Individual subscription at any time. The cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. For more information, see "Canceling Copilot as an individual user."
Determining your billing date
Your billing date will depend on whether or not you are already being billed by GitHub.
-
If you are not already being billed by GitHub, in most cases your billing cycle will start on the day you sign up for GitHub Copilot. For example, if you sign up on 3 September, with monthly billing, your initial billing cycle will run from 3 September until and including 2 October, and then on the same days of subsequent months. For annual billing, if you sign up on 3 September, your initial cycle will end on 2 September the following year.
-
If you already have a billing cycle, billing for GitHub Copilot will be included in your next bill, or your first bill after the end of your 30-day Copilot trial. You will be charged on a pro rata basis for that initial period. If you do not already have an established billing date, you will be billed for GitHub Copilot Individual at the end of your 30-day trial, or when you set up a new paid GitHub Copilot subscription.
