- GitHub Copilot — Product Facts updated
Kingy published an approved change to this Product Facts record.
View published revision
Warning: This is not a general GitHub Copilot pricing guide. It covers only the legacy annual Pro/Pro+ boundary in the cited source.
Answer first: GitHub’s cited request page applies only to legacy annual Copilot Pro and Pro+ subscribers who remained on request-based billing after June 1, 2026.
What this page establishes
Premium request use can vary by feature and model; do not generalize this page to every Copilot account or current plan.
What it does not establish
This is a billing-boundary explainer, not a pricing recommendation or usage estimate.
FAQ
Is this a recommendation?
No. This is source-bound editorial context; selection needs a task, account, data, permission, cost and human-review boundary.
What should be tested before adoption?
Use a disposable or approved environment, record product/version/account, define allowed tools and data, inspect diffs and logs, and keep a human approval step.
Sources, testing and correction
Primary source: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing/request-based-billing-legacy/copilot-requests.
Testing limit: Kingy has not created an account, connected a repository, submitted code, run a model, benchmarked output, or tested security.
Correction: replace only the affected claim with dated primary evidence; retain the prior source and correction note.
Current plan check
As observed on 2026-09-06, GitHub lists Copilot Free for individuals and lists Copilot Pro at US$10 per user per month. These individual-plan statements do not establish access, limits, or billing for every Copilot agent feature or organization policy.

Score definitions and rubric
These are launch-record readiness heuristics, not product ratings.
Launch readiness
How complete and reviewable the launch record is, not the quality of the product.
Inputs and weights: Launch date 15%; qualifying source 10%; what launched 10%; demo 15%; category 10%; audience 10%; editorial assessment 10%; traction evidence 10%; creator or audience fit 10%.
Evidence inputs: Reviewed launch metadata, public source links, demo links, taxonomy, audience, editorial notes, and recorded traction signals.
Demo evidence
Whether the record contains useful, reviewable demonstration evidence; it is not a rating of product output quality.
Inputs and weights: Working demo URL 45%; video walkthrough 25%; clear description of what launched 10%; audience 10%; editorial assessment 10%.
Evidence inputs: Demo and video URLs plus the reviewed launch description, audience, and editorial notes.
Creator-story fit
Whether a launch has enough demonstrable evidence and audience relevance for a useful creator story; it does not predict views or guarantee coverage.
Inputs and weights: Demo evidence 25%; visual creator category 15%; audience 15%; editorial assessment 15%; traction evidence 10%; pricing clarity 10%; API or open-weight evidence 10%.
Evidence inputs: Reviewed demo, category, audience, editorial, traction, pricing, API, and open-weight fields.
- Scale
- 0.0–10.0. A present qualifying input receives its published weight; a missing input receives zero. Scores are rounded to one decimal.
- Assigned by
- Suggested by the deterministic field-completeness helper and assigned or approved by a Kingy editorial reviewer.
- Rubric and check date
- Rubric version P0-2026-08-10. The record’s “Last verified” date is the score check date. Checked: 2026-06-12.
- Confidence and missing data
- Confidence depends on source completeness. “Not scored yet” means no reviewed value; “Needs review” means the value or score set failed validation.
- Freshness
- Recalculate after a material launch, source, demo, pricing, audience, or traction change and during the record freshness review.
- Disputes
- Use “Suggest a correction” on the record and cite the relevant evidence. Commercial relationships cannot buy or alter a score.
