Copilot Credits are available with pay-as-you-go pricing, allowing you the flexibility to only pay for the Copilot Credits you consume at the end of your monthly billing period. Pay as you go requires no upfront license commitment, so you can scale your usage and ensure business continuity for critical business processes.

Alternatively, prepaid Copilot Credit Commit Units are available with a pre-purchase plan, making it an ideal option if you want to choose your credit amount up front and manage variable month-to-month usage.

There are no in-product features or capability differences between the pre-purchase plan and pay as you go. The only difference is how you pay for the service. With the pre-purchase plan, you choose and pay for your credit amount up front. Pay as you go requires no upfront license commitment, allowing you to pay only for the Copilot Credits you consume at the end of the billing period. Download the licensing guide.

To set up pay-as-you-go billing for your environment, you first need an active Azure subscription that you can link to that environment. Read the documentation to learn more.
