Yes. GitHub Code Quality is now a separately paid product and is not included with a Copilot subscription. It became generally available on July 20, 2026, after its public preview.github
For private repositories, pricing includes:
$10 per active committer per month—an active committer is generally someone who pushed to a Code-Quality-enabled repository within the past 90 days. Committers are counted once across the organization, and bot accounts are excluded.github
Additional usage charges for AI-powered features through GitHub AI Credits.
GitHub Actions usage charges for analysis workflows, unless you use self-hosted runners.github
Public repositories currently have no per-committer Code Quality charge, though AI-credit and Actions usage may still apply.github Some optional remediation features, such as delegating work to Copilot, may also require a Copilot license.github
In short: Copilot does not waive the Code Quality fee; Code Quality is billed separately.

Restated, not moved: The core conclusion remains unchanged (GitHub Code Quality is billed separately from Copilot at $10/committer/month), but the new version adds GA date context (July 20, 2026) and specifies $0 pricing for public repositories.
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.
Restated, not moved: The new consensus adds specific plan availability (GitHub Team or GitHub Enterprise Cloud) and clarifies that AI-powered features use GitHub AI Credits and Actions minutes, refining the pricing details without altering the core conclusion.
Restated, not moved: NEW adds that public repos have $0 base charge (with possible usage fees); OLD omits public/private distinction and includes 2026 date plus specific plan/server availability. Core conclusion (separate paid product, not covered by Copilot) unchanged.
