What was used to decide
Plan data verified against GitHub's documentation on 2026-08-20. Pricing and plan contents change — GitHub restructured individual plans once already this year — so treat this as accurate on that date rather than permanent, and check the full comparison or the underlying dataset before committing budget.
- 2026-04-22 — New self-serve sign-ups for Copilot Business for organisations on GitHub Free and GitHub Team plans are temporarily paused. Existing subscriptions are unaffected, and enterprise accounts can still purchase seats.
- 2026-06-01 — Individual paid plans moved to the base-credits-plus-flex-allotment structure, and Copilot Max was introduced at $100 USD per month.
Every plan, side by side
All 7 plans in the dataset the questions above filter. Values are the dataset's own words rather than ticks, because several capabilities are conditional and a tick would lose the condition.
