With the new 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 seat during the month, you will pay pro rata for the user's license usage that month. If a user stops consuming a license seat 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.com 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
- For purchase orders, you can contact your account manager in GitHub's Sales team
