More than 10,000 enterprises have used the GitHub Code Quality public preview to detect maintainability and reliability issues, enforce quality gates, and track code coverage. On July 20, 2026, Code Quality moves from public preview to general availability as a purchasable product.

We understand that any change is significant to our customers, especially when it relates to billing, so we are sharing this update early to help you plan and prepare.

What’s changing on July 20, 2026

GitHub Code Quality will become a paid product. Pricing will be $10 per active committer per month on enabled repositories, plus usage-based consumption for AI-powered capabilities (e.g., Copilot code review, AI-assisted detection, and Copilot Autofix). Deterministic CodeQL analysis will consume GitHub Actions minutes.

New capabilities will be available. Code Quality will support organization-wide deployment, organization-level quality dashboards, code coverage enforcement via rulesets, repository- and organization-level quality scoring, and APIs for both enablement and findings management.
