GitHub Copilot plans: Free, Pro, and team options
Choose a Copilot plan by editor workflow, AI credits, premium models, overage controls, and organisation policy needs.
Choose GitHub Copilot by the development environment and monthly AI-credit demand, not only the plan name. Generated code always requires review, testing, and security and licence judgment.
Use Free as a workflow test
Evaluate Copilot on a representative repository and supported editor. Track whether completion, chat, agent, and review features reduce real task time.
When an individual paid plan fits
- You exhaust the free allowance during normal work
- Premium models or agent workflows materially reduce delivery time
- You understand how model and feature use consumes AI credits
- You have reviewed overage settings and the current billing page
When teams need managed plans
- The organisation needs policy and access administration
- Licensing must be managed centrally
- Security review and approved development environments matter
- Repository permissions and generated changes are reviewed through normal engineering controls
