{% data reusables.billing.about-billing %} For organizations, the "plan" component of the bill is based on the number of licensed seats you choose to purchase.

New organizations on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} can build public and open-source projects with {% data variables.product.prodname_free_team %}, or upgrade to a paid plan. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE" and "AUTOTITLE."

{% note %}

Note: Organizations who upgraded to a paid plan before May 11, 2016 can choose to stay on their existing per-repository plan or switch to per-user pricing. {% data variables.product.company_short %} will notify you twelve months before any mandated change to your subscription. For more information on switching your subscription, see "AUTOTITLE."

{% endnote %}

{% else %}

The foundation of your bill is the number of standard licensed seats that you choose for your{% ifversion ghec %} organization or{% endif %} enterprise.

{% data reusables.enterprise-licensing.unique-user-licensing-model %}

To ensure the same user isn't consuming more than one license for multiple enterprise deployments, you can synchronize license usage between your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} environments. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."

In addition to licensed seats, your bill may include other charges, such as {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %}. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE." {% endif %}

{% ifversion fpt %}

{% data variables.product.company_short %} bills for the following people:

• Organization members, including owners
• Outside collaborators on private repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks
• Anyone with a pending invitation to become an outside collaborator on private or internal repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks
• Dormant users

{% note %}

Notes:

• {% data variables.product.company_short %} counts each outside collaborator once for billing purposes, even if the user account has access to multiple repositories owned by your organization.
• {% data reusables.organizations.org-invite-scim %}
• Inviting an outside collaborator to a repository using their email address temporarily uses an available seat, even if they already have access to other repositories. After they accept the invite, the seat will be freed up again. However, inviting them using their username does not temporarily use a seat.

{% endnote %}

{% data variables.product.company_short %} does not bill for the following people:

• Billing managers
• Anyone with a pending invitation to become a billing manager
• Anyone with a pending invitation to become an outside collaborator on a public repository owned by your organization

{% else %}

{% data variables.product.company_short %} bills for the following accounts for each deployment of {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}.

• Enterprise owners who are a member or owner of at least one organization in the enterprise
• Organization members, including owners
• Outside collaborators on private or internal repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks
• Dormant users who are a member or owner of at least one organization in the enterprise

If your enterprise does not use {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}, you will also be billed for each of the following accounts:

• Anyone with a pending invitation to become an organization owner or member
• Anyone with a pending invitation to become an outside collaborator on private or internal repositories owned by your organization, excluding forks

{% note %}

Notes:

• {% data reusables.organizations.org-invite-scim %}
• Inviting an outside collaborator to a repository using their email address temporarily uses an available seat, even if they already have access to other repositories. After they accept the invite, the seat will be freed up again. However, inviting them using their username does not temporarily use a seat.

{% data variables.product.company_short %} does not bill for any of the following accounts:

• {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_users_caps %} that are suspended
• Enterprise owners who are not a member or owner of at least one organization in the enterprise, except for the user who set up the enterprise
• Enterprise billing managers

• Users who have been provisioned with a {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_user %}, but are not members of any organizations in the enterprise

After a user successfully authenticates to a {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance for the first time, the user consumes a seat.

Suspended users are not counted when calculating the number of licensed users consuming seats. For more information, see "[Suspending and unsuspending users]({% ifversion not ghes %}/enterprise-server@latest{% endif %}/admin/user-management/managing-users-in-your-enterprise/suspending-and-unsuspending-users){% ifversion not ghes %}" in the {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} documentation.{% else %}."{% endif %}

Dormant users do occupy a seat license. Administrators can suspend dormant users to free licenses. For more information, see "[Managing dormant users]({% ifversion not ghes %}/enterprise-server@latest{% endif %}/admin/user-management/managing-users-in-your-enterprise/managing-dormant-users){% ifversion not ghes %}" in the {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} documentation.{% else %}."{% endif %}

You can add more licensed seats to your {% ifversion fpt or ghec %} organization{% endif %}{% ifversion ghec %} or{% endif %}{% ifversion ghec or ghes %} enterprise{% endif %} at any time.

{% endif %}

{% ifversion fpt %}

You can upgrade or downgrade between legacy paid plans in your organization's billing settings. When you upgrade to a plan with more private repositories, {% data variables.product.company_short %} immediately moves your account to your new plan and bills you for the difference in price, prorated for the number of days left in your billing cycle.

When you downgrade to a legacy paid plan with fewer private repositories, your new plan will take effect on your next billing date. If you have more private repositories than your new plan allows for, your private repositories will be locked when your new plan takes effect. To reduce your number of private repositories, you can make some of your private repositories public, or you can clone your private repositories locally and delete the copies on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
