What are the differences between the GitHub Copilot Business, GitHub Copilot Enterprise, and GitHub Copilot Individual plans?
GitHub Copilot has multiple offerings for organizations and an offering for individual developers. All the offerings include both inline suggestion and chat assistance. The primary differences between the organization offerings and the individual offering are license management, policy management, and IP indemnity.
Organizations can choose between GitHub Copilot Business and GitHub Copilot Enterprise. GitHub Copilot Business primarily features GitHub Copilot in the coding environment - that is the IDE, CLI and GitHub Mobile. GitHub Copilot Enterprise includes everything in GitHub Copilot Business. It also adds an additional layer of customization for organizations and integrates into GitHub.com as a chat interface to allow developers to converse with GitHub Copilot throughout the platform. GitHub Copilot Enterprise can index an organization’s codebase for a deeper understanding of the customer’s knowledge for more tailored suggestions and will offer customers access to fine-tuned custom, private models for inline suggestions.
GitHub Copilot Individual is designed for individual developers, freelancers, students, educators, and open source maintainers. The plan includes all the features of GitHub Copilot Business except organizational license management, policy management, and IP indemnity.
What is included in GitHub Copilot Free?
GitHub Copilot Free users are limited to 2000 completions and 50 chat requests (including Copilot Edits).
How can I upgrade my GitHub Copilot Free license to Copilot Pro?
If you're on the Free plan, you can upgrade to Pro through your Copilot settings page or directly on the Copilot marketing page.

Just got the notification that billing for premium requests starts June 2025. Apparently my "unlimited" Copilot Pro subscription now comes with a 300 request monthly cap for anything that's not the base model.
Want to use Claude Sonnet? Premium request. Agent mode? Premium request. Each advanced interaction can cost $0.04, and some models have multipliers that make a single question count as 50 requests.
The best part? They're rolling this out but there's still no proper way to track your usage. People are saying "No usage found" when trying to check their limits.
I get that better models cost more to run, but calling it "unlimited" and then slapping rate limits feels like a bait and switch. Microsoft says Copilot accounts for 40% of GitHub's revenue growth - clearly they're not hurting for cash.
Anyone else feeling like they got played here? Or am I overreacting to what's probably just normal business evolution?
