GitHub Copilot adopts usage-based pricing starting June

GitHub will charge Copilot users based on actual AI usage starting June 1, replacing the current fixed-amount quota with monthly AI Credits equal to a subscriber’s plan. Extra usage beyond credits will be billed by token consumption at model-specific rates, with OpenAI GPT model costs varying by complexity. Simple AI suggestions remain free, but Copilot code reviews will incur GitHub Actions minutes. A preview bill tool will estimate charges before rollout, as GitHub says the shift aligns pricing with actual costs and supports sustainable, reliable service amid rising AI compute demand.

Copilot switches to token-based pricing with AI credits starting June 1

GitHub Copilot will move from its Premium Request Unit model to a usage-based, token-based system beginning June 1, 2026, using monthly AI Credits tied to token consumption; base subscription prices stay the same for now (Copilot Pro $10/mo, Pro+ $39/mo) and Enterprise/Business retain pricing while adding monthly credits, with promotional credits for June–August and pooled org credits to reduce stranded capacity. Once credits run out, users can’t continue typical usage unless more credits are purchased. A May preview will show projected costs before the June bills. The shift reflects rising AI compute/inference costs and mirrors broader industry price increases.”,

Microsoft 365 Premium: the price tag doesn't match the value for most users

ZDNET argues that Microsoft 365 Premium costs more without clear added value, as its AI credits are vague and hard to gauge. For most users, Personal offers desktop apps, 1 TB OneDrive per person, and Copilot at a lower price, while Family adds sharing but Copilot access is limited to the account owner. Basic is too limited for desktop Office apps. In short, skip Premium unless you specifically need its AI features and can tolerate uncertain limits; otherwise choose Personal or Family.
