GitHub Copilot seat and AI credit calculator

Enter seats and the average AI credits each user consumes. Business and Enterprise credits are pooled across the organisation; usage above the pool is billed per credit.

How GitHub Copilot pricing works

Individual plans. Copilot Free includes 2,000 completions/month. Limited chat and agent usage; Free users can’t buy extra credits. Pro is $10 a month with 1,000 base + 500 flex AI credits/mo (flex may change). Pro+ is $39 (3,900 base + 3,100 flex AI credits/mo (flex may change)), and Max is $100 (10,000 base + 10,000 flex AI credits/mo (flex may change)). Paid extra usage starts only after base plus flex are used up; GitHub says flex allotments may change, so the calculator has a “Base only (conservative)” option. Code completions don’t use credits.

Business and Enterprise. Business is $19 per granted seat with 1,900 included AI credits per user, pooled across the organisation. Enterprise is $39 with 3,900; it is designed for GitHub Enterprise Cloud, which isn’t included. GitHub lists no flex allotment for them. Credits beyond the shared pool cost $0.01 each if paid usage is allowed (on by default; admins can turn it off).

Students, teachers and maintainers. Copilot Student is its own plan, free for verified students on GitHub Education (eligibility is re-checked every month). It has unlimited code completions and auto model selection; its AI-credit allowance is not published by GitHub. It isn’t a team plan, so it’s not in the calculator. Copilot Pro is free for verified teachers and maintainers of popular open-source projects.

GitHub Copilot is not Microsoft 365 Copilot

This page covers GitHub Copilot for coding. Microsoft 365 Copilot (Word, Excel, Teams) is a different product with different pricing.
