seconded, they charge $21/month/seat if you're using the pro features; that's $50k a year even for a smallish team of 20, just to use their website. Once you get to a bigger company with 800 seats, that's $1M over 5 years, for something that was mostly built on free OSS software to begin with.
Not to mention the biggest bait-and-switch in history that they pulled off on Github Copilot subscriptions, that I'm guessing a lot of big orgs won't have cancelled yet. They really are laughing all the way to the bank.
20*21*12 is more than 50k?
