GitHub Copilot pricing currently scales from a $0 Free tier to $100 per month for the high-end Max plan. Organizations looking for Business or Enterprise deployments must now contact sales for per-seat pricing, as these plans moved away from public fixed pricing in September 2026.

For individual users and small teams, the Pro plan remains at $10 per month, while the Pro+ tier is positioned at $39 per month. Procurement teams should note that while individual tiers are transparent, enterprise-grade commitments now require direct negotiation with GitHub.

Why did enterprise pricing move to contact sales?

As of September 2026, both the Business and Enterprise plans shifted from fixed rates to contact-based pricing. For CIOs and procurement leads, this indicates a shift toward customized contract structures. This change allows for volume-based discounting but requires more active management during renewal cycles to ensure per-seat costs align with actual usage.

How do the Pro, Pro+, and Max tiers differ?

With plans priced at $10, $39, and $100 respectively, the cost jump between tiers is significant. The Pro plan is often referred to as 'Copilot Individual' in documentation. The Max plan represents a 10x cost increase over the base Pro tier, meaning finance teams must validate that the users assigned to these seats are realizing a proportional increase in output or complexity handling.

To determine if a $1,200 annual spend on a Max seat is yielding a return, teams must measure time saved against a verified baseline of manual coding hours. NetLift enables finance leaders to map these subscription costs directly to productivity gains, ensuring that AI adoption is backed by hard evidence of task completion rather than just seat utilization.
