Current organization pricing (verified August 18, 2026): Business is $19/user/month with 1,900 pooled AI credits per seat. Enterprise is $39/user/month with 3,900 pooled credits per seat and requires GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Usage above the pool is $0.01/credit. Paid-plan code completions and next edits do not consume credits; chat, CLI, agents, Spaces and Spark can. Code review can also add GitHub Actions charges. Existing customers may temporarily receive higher promotional pools through August 31, 2026; this calculator uses the standard ongoing allowances.

ROI Calculation

Compare the seat cost with actual adoption, AI-credit consumption and Actions usage. Productivity gains vary by workflow and team, so use measured delivery data rather than a universal payback claim.

Track the Cost After You Buy

Seat count is only the baseline. Compare the wider stack in the 2026 SaaS pricing comparison, review other engineering subscriptions in the developer-tools watchlist, and use the pricing tracker to watch plan and usage-policy changes before renewal.
