The answer itself held, but the models now agree less than in the recent checks (-20 pts). The old and new consensus answers both state that GitHub Code Quality is a separate paid product not included with Copilot, with a base charge of $10 per active committer per month and potential usage-based charges. The differences are purely in wording and formatting.
Yes. GitHub Code Quality is now a separate paid product rather than a feature included with Copilot.githubgithub
What that means in practice:
It has a base charge of $10 per active committer per month for organizations on GitHub Team or GitHub Enterprise Cloud.githubgithub
Copilot does not include the Code Quality per-committer license, so paying for Copilot alone does not cover Code Quality.github
Some Code Quality capabilities can still use GitHub AI Credits and GitHub Actions minutes for usage-based billing.github
One nuance: Copilot-related AI features inside Code Quality may not require a Copilot subscription, but the Code Quality product itself is still billed separately.githubgithub
