The wording moved, the conclusion held: 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.
Yes. GitHub Code Quality is now a separate paid product for organizations on GitHub Team or GitHub Enterprise Cloud; it is not included with Copilot subscriptions.githubgithub
A few practical details matter:
Copilot users do not automatically get Code Quality. Code Quality has its own billing and licensing.githubgithub
Pricing is generally $10 USD per active committer per month for enabled private repositories, with public repositories charged $0 for that base fee.github
There can also be usage-based charges for:
GitHub Actions minutes used by CodeQL scans
GitHub AI Credits for AI-powered features such as AI-assisted detection and Copilot Autofix.github
So the short answer is: yes, it’s paid now, and Copilot alone doesn’t include it.githubgithub
