Other Dependabot pricing options
Before you budget for Dependabot
- Dependabot does not cost money. GitHub's pricing page lists Dependabot security and version updates under the Free plan, and the same feature appears on Team and Enterprise.
- The plan prices listed are GitHub's plan prices, not Dependabot's. They are included here only because 'is Dependabot free' is really a question about which GitHub plan you need — and the answer is any of them, including the free one.
- GitHub's Actions billing documentation states that the use of standard GitHub-hosted runners is free for Dependabot, so Dependabot runs do not consume your monthly Actions minutes.
- GitHub Actions is separately free for public repositories, self-hosted runners and GitHub Pages; beyond included quotas, Actions overage rates are $0.006/min for Linux, $0.010/min for Windows and $0.062/min for macOS — these apply to your own workflows, not to Dependabot's runs.
- The Team and Enterprise figures on GitHub's pricing page are presented as first-12-months rates, so confirm the ongoing renewal rate with GitHub before budgeting multi-year.
- freeTrial is null because there is nothing to trial — the feature is free.
- Note the contrast with GitHub's other security features: code scanning, secret scanning, push protection and CodeQL are public-repos-only on Free and Team, and fully available on private repos only on Enterprise. Dependabot is the exception that is available everywhere.
