GitHub will shift all Copilot plans to usage-based billing on June 1, 2026. The new system replaces premium request units with GitHub AI Credits, measured by token consumption. Base subscription prices stay the same: $10/month for Pro, $39 for Pro+, $19 per user for Business, and $39 per user for Enterprise. But what you actually get for that money is about to change.
GitHub Copilot's new billing penalizes power users
GitHub announces that all Copilot plans will transition to usage-based billing on June 1, 2026, replacing premium request units with GitHub AI Credits based on token consumption. Base plan prices remain unchanged (Pro $10/mo, Pro+ $39/mo, Business $19/user/mo, Enterprise $39/user/mo). The change reflects increased compute demands as Copilot has evolved into an agentic platform for multi-step coding sessions.
