Yes. As of July 20, 2026, GitHub Code Quality is a paid, standalone product and is not included with a
GitHub Copilot subscription.[1][2]
Key points:
Therefore, if Code Quality was enabled during its preview period, an organization should review its billing settings: charges began when the product reached general availability, and disabling Code Quality is necessary to stop ongoing license charges.
