The real charges

Cost comes from GitHub's own billing report, at the net amount after included allowances. No estimates when GitHub can give the real number.

Per seat holder

Each day's seat cost is split across the people who held a seat that day. Premium requests go to the people who made them.

Idle seats, flagged

Seats nobody has used in a month show up as a recommendation, with what they cost you.

What it doesn't do yet

Copilot billed at the enterprise level. The organization report can come back empty.
Copilot Pro or Pro+ bought by individuals.

Paying for seats nobody opens?

Copilot is easy to roll out to everyone and hard to check on later. People change roles, try it once, or leave, and the seat keeps billing.

How it works

You give RootSpend a token from an organization owner. It reads the Copilot charges from GitHub billing and the list of seat holders. Each day's seat cost is split across the people who held a seat that day, and premium request charges go to the people who made the requests.

When a seat hasn't been used in a month, RootSpend groups it into one recommendation with the cost of keeping it.

GitHub Copilot questions

A classic personal access token from an organization owner, with manage_billing:copilot and read:org. GitHub has no read only scope for Copilot billing yet. RootSpend only reads with it and never changes your seats.

The report needs GitHub's enhanced billing platform. Without it, you can enter your price per seat, and RootSpend estimates seat cost from the seats held each day. Premium requests aren't estimated.
