Pricing Comparison

GitHub Copilot

Free

Users: Individual

Limits: Limited premium requests, no advanced models, no enterprise features

Premium requests deplete fast with advanced models. No access to GPT-4.5, Claude Opus without premium quota

Pro

Popular

$10/mo

Users: Individual

Limits: Premium request limits still apply, no organization management, limited model selection

Advanced models use multipliers: GPT-4.5 = 50x, Claude Opus 4 = 10x. Overages at $0.04/request can spike bills. Annual saves $20 vs monthly

Pro+

$39/mo

Users: Individual

Limits: Still no organization features, premium requests still limited despite 4x price

Still has premium request limits - heavy users report hitting quota in days. Multipliers still apply. $390/year is steep for individuals

Business

$19/mo

Users: Per user

Limits: Requires GitHub Enterprise Cloud for some features, no Copilot Workspace access

Need GitHub Enterprise Cloud for full features. Adds to existing GitHub subscription costs. Per-seat pricing scales fast

Enterprise

$39/mo

Users: Per user

Limits: Expensive at scale, requires enterprise commitment

Requires GitHub Enterprise Cloud subscription. Custom model training costs extra. For 100 developers = $46,800/year before GitHub subscription

Sourcegraph

Free (Cody - DISCONTINUED)

Free

Users: Individual

Limits: DISCONTINUED - migrate to Amp or find alternative

No longer available. Users directed to Amp with $10 transition credits. Product deprecated.

Enterprise Starter

$19/mo

Users: Up to 50 users

Limits: 50 user limit, fewer enterprise features than full Enterprise tier

Capped at 50 users - must upgrade for larger teams. Limited enterprise features. May be affected by future product changes

Enterprise

Popular

$59/mo

Users: Unlimited

Limits: Very expensive, pricing may include LOC component, requires sales process

At $59/user, 100 users = $70,800/year. May also be charged based on lines of code indexed. Volume discounts require negotiation

Amp (New Product)

$0/mo

Users: Individual

Limits: New product, unknown long-term pricing, replaces discontinued Cody individual plans

Credit-based system - free credits run out. Future pricing unclear. New product still evolving
