GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise

Pricing

  • Business: $19/user/month
  • Enterprise: Custom pricing (contact sales)
  • Free 30-day org trials typically available

Where It Fits

Teams already on GitHub that want the lowest friction rollout and, for Enterprise, deep GitHub.com integration.

Key Capabilities

  • Chat and completions in VS Code, JetBrains, and Visual Studio
  • Policy controls to block public code suggestions
  • SSO/SAML and org-wide license management
  • Enterprise adds GitHub.com integration: PR summaries, issue/discussion Q&A, repo-aware chat
  • Data from Business/Enterprise accounts is not used to train foundation models (per GitHub policy)

Trade-offs

Cloud-only with no self-hosting or BYO model option. Strongest for GitHub-centric organizations; limited for mixed VCS environments.


Sourcegraph Amp (formerly Cody)

Pricing

Contact sales. No public per-seat pricing. Free enterprise trials are available with unlimited access for a defined engineering group.

Where It Fits

Large, multi-repo codebases that benefit from Sourcegraph's code graph and enterprises needing self-hosted or private cloud deployment.

Key Capabilities

  • Code graph context: Sourcegraph's code graph and search provide highly relevant responses across large mono-repos and multi-repo setups
  • Agentic coding flows: Amp mode for autonomous multi-step tasks plus chat/completions in IDE and web
  • Deployment flexibility: Self-hosted, private cloud, or managed; admin controls for model/repo policies and auditability
  • VCS integration: Works with GitHub, GitLab, and existing Sourcegraph search infrastructure
  • Enterprise trials: Includes hands-on guidance for configuring agents and workflows

Trade-offs

Requires Sourcegraph deployment and a contract. Best returns for organizations with large codebases that already use (or plan to adopt) Sourcegraph.


Tabnine

Pricing

Contact sales for custom pricing. Tabnine has moved to a quote-based model with no publicly listed per-seat rates. Enterprise/VPC/on-prem available.

Where It Fits

Privacy-first and regulated environments that require zero data retention and on-prem or VPC deployment.

Key Capabilities

  • Enterprise Context Engine: Builds a structured model of your architecture, dependencies, and standards for more accurate suggestions
  • Agentic platform: AI agents for reviews, tests, and refactors with org policy controls
  • Deployment options: SaaS, VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped; zero data egress architecture
  • Security posture: SOC 2/ISO, zero data retention option, RBAC, audit logging
  • Model approach: Works with multiple LLMs; customers choose their model with no hidden markups
  • Reported outcomes: Up to 50% faster resolution, 80% token reduction, 2x agent accuracy (per Tabnine benchmarks)

Trade-offs

Higher cost than Copilot Business. Smaller ecosystem than GitHub-native tools. Requires sales engagement for pricing.
