Starting June 1, 2026, GitHub will transition Copilot to a token-based billing model, charging users based on actual token usage—including input, output, and cached tokens—at each model's API rates. The base subscription prices remain unchanged: Copilot Pro at $10/month, Pro+ at $39/month, Business at $19/user/month, and Enterprise at $39/user/month. Each plan includes a number of credits corresponding to its subscription price. Code completions will not consume credits. To ease the transition, Business customers will receive additional credits from June through August.
GitHub Chief Product Officer Mario Rodriguez explained in a blog post that the shift addresses the varying compute costs of agentic use cases. "Today, a short chat question can cost the user just as much as an autonomous coding session lasting several hours," he noted. A preview invoice feature will launch in early May. Additionally, GitHub announced in March that starting April 24, 2026, it will use interaction data from Free, Pro, and Pro+ users for AI training unless they opt out.
