Your incremental Copilot cost: $39/seat

GHE Cloud is already a sunk cost for your org

Not on GitHub Enterprise Cloud

Teams on GitHub Free or GitHub Team ($4/seat) will need to upgrade to GitHub Enterprise Cloud before accessing Copilot Enterprise.

Your real decision cost: $60/seat/month

Both Copilot Enterprise AND GHE Cloud are new costs

What GitHub Enterprise Cloud Includes

The $21/seat covers more than just being a Copilot requirement - it is GitHub's enterprise product in its own right.

SAML SSO

Single sign-on via Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, or any SAML 2.0 provider. Required for most enterprise IT security policies.

SCIM provisioning

Automatic user provisioning and deprovisioning via your identity provider. Users added in Okta or Azure AD automatically get/lose GitHub access.

GitHub Advanced Security

Code scanning, secret scanning, and dependency review built into pull requests. Catches vulnerabilities before merge.

Enterprise account management

Centralised billing, multiple organisations under one enterprise account, cross-org reporting and audit log API.

Larger resource quotas

More GitHub Actions minutes, larger storage, higher API rate limits than GitHub Team or Free plans.

Audit log API

Programmatic access to the full audit log. Required for SOC2, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP compliance frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the total cost of GitHub Enterprise with Copilot?▼
For organisations that do not already have GitHub Enterprise Cloud: Copilot Enterprise ($39/seat/mo) + GitHub Enterprise Cloud ($21/seat/mo) = $60/seat/month total. For organisations already paying for GitHub Enterprise Cloud, the incremental Copilot add-on is $39/seat.
Why does Copilot Enterprise require GitHub Enterprise Cloud?▼
Enterprise-tier Copilot features (knowledge bases, GitHub.com Chat, custom models, SSO/SCIM via external IdP) are built on top of GitHub Enterprise Cloud's infrastructure. You cannot access these features without the Enterprise Cloud platform layer.
Is Copilot Enterprise worth $60/user/month for organisations already on GitHub Enterprise Cloud?▼
For organisations already on GHE Cloud, the incremental Copilot Enterprise cost is $39/seat. The question becomes: is knowledge bases + GitHub.com Chat + custom models + 1,000 PRUs/seat (vs 300 in Business) worth $20 more than Business ($19/seat)? For regulated industries needing SSO/SCIM and full audit logs, and for large orgs where knowledge bases provide meaningful productivity gain, the answer is typically yes.
What does GitHub Enterprise Cloud cost at scale?▼
GitHub Enterprise Cloud costs $21 per user per month when billed annually ($252/user/year). At 100 seats: $2,100/month. At 500 seats: $10,500/month. Combined with Copilot Enterprise at $39/seat: 100 seats = $6,000/month. 500 seats = $30,000/month. GitHub offers enterprise licensing agreements with custom pricing for very large organisations.
