If you use it to review your GitHub Copilot spend, you can get even greater visibility directly in your GitHub billing settings.\n\nThe app was built to help you understand your bill as Copilot moved to usage-based billing. Since then, your billing settings have grown to cover details the app’s underlying reports can’t show (e.g., user-level budgets, cost centers, and how usage pools are allocated). Rather than leave you with an incomplete picture, GitHub is retiring the app in favor of the built-in experience.\n\n[What to use instead](#what-to-use-instead)\n\nYou can review and manage your Copilot spend without the app:\n\n- See your AI usage on the\n**AI usage** page in your[billing settings](https://github.com/settings/billing), where you can group, filter, and export your AI credit data. - Set budgets to cap your spend.\n- If you’re an organization or enterprise, user-level budgets will help you control and track spend at an individual level.\n- Pull raw usage data anytime from your usage reports and the billing API.\n\nTo learn more, see [GitHub Copilot billing](https://docs.github.com/copilot/concepts/billing).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-billing-preview-app-will-be-retired-on-august-3", "canonical_source": "https://github.blog/changelog/2026-07-07-copilot-billing-preview-app-will-be-retired-on-august-3", "published_at": "2026-07-07 14:51:13+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-07 15:37:58.485021+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["GitHub", "GitHub Copilot", "Copilot Billing Preview"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-billing-preview-app-will-be-retired-on-august-3", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-billing-preview-app-will-be-retired-on-august-3.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-billing-preview-app-will-be-retired-on-august-3.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/copilot-billing-preview-app-will-be-retired-on-august-3.jsonld"}}
