"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month

"We grew with GitHub midterm due to some testing we had to do on a temporary basis and were very clear with our rep that this was happening. Come renewal, they told us that they had to pull discounting due to decreases in scope. We pushed back heavily on this and got our discounting reinstated by citing they were aware it was a temporary increase in scope. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year

"We added on Advanced Security licenses midterm and were told we would be able to negotiate the price on our renewal. When the time came, GitHub did not budge. We are paying for support, co-pilot, enterprise and advanced security licenses that tripled our pricing over the past year. We only got a 5% discount on advanced security so we decided not to prepay for any of our metered products and pull that from the contract. We will pay that monthly in arrears as we use the product.
