What Fortune 500 engineering organizations actually pay for GitHub Enterprise Cloud, GitHub Copilot Business, and GitHub Advanced Security. Real deal data from 195+ GitHub enterprise negotiations. GitHub's deep integration with the Microsoft ecosystem creates significant pricing complexity — and leverage — that most buyers fail to fully exploit.
Organizations with Microsoft Enterprise Agreements have significant undiscovered leverage on GitHub Enterprise pricing. Our data shows that 71% of enterprise Microsoft customers negotiate GitHub and Microsoft separately — forfeiting bundling discounts of 20-35% that are available to EA customers.
GitHub is owned by Microsoft. Yet 71% of organizations negotiate their GitHub Enterprise agreement completely separately from their Microsoft EA — forfeiting bundling options that can reduce total GitHub costs by 20-35%. Procurement teams that align GitHub negotiations with their Microsoft EA renewal consistently achieve substantially better outcomes than those handling them independently.
Our GitHub benchmark report compares your Enterprise Cloud, Copilot, and Advanced Security rates against 195+ enterprise deals — and assesses whether your Microsoft EA creates bundling leverage you're not using. 48-hour delivery, NDA-protected.

Enterprise GitHub buyers with 500+ seats typically negotiate 20-35% off list on GitHub Enterprise Cloud ($21/user/month). GitHub Copilot Business ($19/user/month list) is frequently discounted 15-25% in enterprise agreements. Organizations bundling GitHub with Microsoft 365 or Azure EA agreements often achieve the best overall economics — sometimes 30-40% below standalone list pricing.
GitHub Copilot Business lists at $19/user/month and Copilot Enterprise at $39/user/month. Enterprise deals frequently involve negotiated per-seat rates and can be bundled with GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Organizations typically see 15-25% discounts on Copilot when negotiating as part of a larger GitHub Enterprise deal. Microsoft 365 E5 customers should also evaluate whether their existing entitlements create Copilot overlap.
Yes, in most cases. GitHub is Microsoft-owned, and aligning GitHub negotiations with Microsoft EA reviews creates meaningful leverage. Our data shows organizations that negotiate GitHub as part of Microsoft EA reviews save an average of 28% more than those negotiating standalone — with the largest gains at 1,000+ seat counts where volume discounts and EA structure overlap most favorably.
GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) adds code scanning, secret scanning, and dependency review to GitHub Enterprise. It's priced per active committer per month ($49 list) — which differs from overall GitHub Enterprise seat count. Organizations often overpay by including inactive contributors in committer counts. Our benchmark reports include GHAS committer count optimization as standard, which typically reduces GHAS costs by 20-30%.
