Has GitHub Copilot raised its price?
No. The individual GitHub Copilot plan, Copilot Pro, has held at $10/month (or $100/year) since it became available to individuals in June 2022, remarkable stability given how much more capable the underlying models have become.
GitHub changed the structure around that price instead of the price itself. In 2025 it introduced a "premium request" model: Pro includes a monthly allowance of premium-model requests, and a new Pro+ tier at $39/month offers a much larger allowance for developers who lean on the most capable models. Heavy users effectively pay more via the higher tier or overage, even though the Pro sticker is unchanged.
This is the same pattern as Cursor and others, the headline price stays put while usage limits and premium-request quotas become the real lever. Tracking your actual monthly spend (Pro plus any overage) is the only way to see the true cost.
