Pricing Comparison

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
