GitHub Enterprise now includes Copilot for every licensed user
GitHub says enterprises working with a GitHub or Microsoft account team can now get Copilot included with GitHub Enterprise for every licensed user, so the thing to manage is AI usage against the enterprise budget rather than seat counts. It is available now for GitHub Enterprise Cloud through sales; self-serve availability is coming in stages with dates to follow, and current self-serve subscriptions are unaffected. Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise remain on sale.
- Users in an enterprise account without a GitHub Enterprise license get the same access through Copilot Standalone at $10 per user per month.
- Access through either route has the same features and models as Copilot Enterprise but no monthly AI credits per seat; usage is metered against the enterprise budget from the first request.
- Code completion and next edit suggestions keep working with no budget left. Copilot Chat, code review and Copilot in the cloud need available budget. An exhausted budget does not remove the seat.
