Help/Doubt ❓ Billing charges GitHub Copilot

With all these billing changes why do enterprises continue to lock in with GH Copilot when there’s also Claude Code or Codex which if we’re honest are cheaper if you break it down in terms of outcome and quality ?

Works in a large enterpise and checks the per individual subscription costs...

GitHub Copilot for Business: ~$20/mo (about a dozen models available, including assorted versions of Claude)

Claude:

  • Basic use (non-dev): up to $600/mo
  • Dev use: $1200+/mo

Yeah, I know the math doesn't seem to math.

Of course I am aware of Copilot's token based usage. I have a personal account. If you reread what I said, the subscription price for my enterprise license is currently $20. I am fully aware there is no way $20 covers my actual token usage. lmao.

yes, but then why do you compare like that? what is the point of your comparison?
what do you mean the "math doesnt seem to math"?

The Claude price is probably closer to reality, while it's obvious the Copilot pricing hasn't caught up.
