The problem

GitHub moved Copilot to usage-based AI Credits on June 1, 2026, and the promotional extra credits ended after August. GitLab Duo Agent Platform is billed in GitLab Credits. Seat prices stayed the same, but the bill now moves with usage.

Most teams turned these tools on without budgets, model policies or a way to see who is using what. That is how a predictable line item becomes a surprise.

What we check

Usage and credit burn

Who uses what, which models and features drive cost, and how fast credits are consumed.

Seat utilization

Seats that are assigned but idle, and seats that can be reclaimed today.

Budgets and limits

Whether spending limits exist at the right levels, and what happens when one is hit.

Model and admin policy

Which models are allowed, who can change settings, and what is logged.

What you get in one week

Spend controls, configured. Budget caps, model policies and admin controls set up in your GitHub or GitLab environment, not just recommended.
Idle seats reclaimed. A list of unused seats, removed with your approval.
A one-page cost forecast. What next quarter should cost at current usage, and what would change it.
A clear next step. If a governed pilot makes sense, we tell you. If it does not, we tell you that too.
