How does GitHub pricing work?
The user is the value metric: Team at '$ 4 USD per user / month' and Enterprise at '$ 21 USD per user / month', with Free printed as '$ 0 USD'. Each seat carries allowances that step up by plan, '2,000 CI/CD minutes/month', '3,000 CI/CD minutes/month' and '50,000 CI/CD minutes/month', with '500MB of Packages storage', '2GB of Packages storage' and '50GB of Packages storage'. Around the seat sits a nine-card add-on grid: metered utilities such as Codespaces at 'Starting at $0.18 per hour of compute and $0.07 per GB of storage.' and Git Large File Storage at '$5 per month for 50 GB bandwidth and 50 GB of storage.', and capability modules such as GitHub Code Quality, GitHub Code Security and GitHub Secret Protection. Seats price people and governance, meters price compute, and modules price the security depth a team chooses.
The page opens on AI. The H1 'Try the Copilot-powered platform' sits above 'Start free for 30 days' and a new 'Compare plans' button, for a 'single risk-free trial that includes GitHub Enterprise, Copilot, and Advanced Security'. Three columns follow: Free with 'Create a free organization', Team with 'Continue with Team', and Enterprise under a RECOMMENDED label with 'Start a free trial' and 'Contact Sales' plus the note 'GitHub Enterprise now includes access to GitHub Copilot.' Each column stacks on the last ('Everything from Free, plus:', 'Everything from Team, plus:') and ends with its featured add-ons. The 'Additional add-ons' grid leads to a Fortune 100 logo row, a Copilot customer story and the 'Compare plans' table, whose header repeats prices and buttons.
Under the hood, Enterprise has become the AI tier. Its tagline reads 'AI-powered development, governed at enterprise scale', its list opens with 'GitHub Copilot access' and 'Agent governance', and its price prints as a flat $21 per user per month. That points to Copilot access priced into the Enterprise seat, with governance of agents as the enterprise value, while agent compute stays metered: GitHub sandbox reads 'Usage-based' on every plan, and 'AI-detected secrets in push protection' reads 'Usage-based' on Team and Enterprise. Security unbundles into modules, with Advanced Security described as 'Code Security and Secret Protection together, to find and fix vulnerabilities and leaked secrets.' The Free column still tells the open-source story, with many rows reading 'Public repositories'. Worth borrowing: put the AI capability inside the top seat, meter the compute it drives, and sell depth as named modules.
What does GitHub's pricing page do well?
- One 'Start free for 30 days' trial bundles Enterprise, Copilot and Advanced Security, with a 'Compare plans' button beside it for buyers who want the table first
- The Enterprise card states the change in a callout, 'GitHub Enterprise now includes access to GitHub Copilot.', next to the buttons
- Stacked lists ('Everything from Free, plus:', 'Everything from Team, plus:') make each upgrade's delta the argument
- Security add-ons each get a card with a one-line job, such as 'Find vulnerabilities with CodeQL and AI Scan, then assign alerts to Copilot to fix.'
- The Codespaces row explains core hours ('On a 2-core machine, you would get 60 hours free.') beside the '$0 spend limit' on Free
What does GitHub's pricing page reveal about its pricing strategy?
- Copilot access and 'Agent governance' inside the $21 Enterprise seat turn the top tier into the governed AI plan
- Agent compute stays metered: GitHub sandbox reads 'Usage-based' on all three plans, outside the seat price
- Advanced Security now reads as the pair of Code Security and Secret Protection, so security can be bought as one module or as a bundle
- AI-detected secrets in push protection is 'Usage-based' on Team and Enterprise, usage pricing reaching into security features
- Paid features marked 'Public repositories' in the Free column keep open source on the platform, and private collaboration is what the seat buys
