Is GitHub free? Actually Free.

Pricing: GitHub's core Android workflow is usable without payment. Google Play reports optional purchases from $9.99 to $99.99 per item but does not expose the individual Android SKU names, so none are guessed. Optional paid features: In-app purchases (individual SKUs not exposed by Google Play) ($9.99–$99.99 per item).

GitHub's core mobile experience—browsing code, handling issues, reviewing pull requests, and merging—is fully usable without paying. Paid Copilot subscriptions are optional AI add-ons rather than a gate on the app's main purpose.

Pros
  • Browse repositories, issues, and pull requests for free
  • Review and merge pull requests from mobile
  • No payment required for normal GitHub app use
  • Copilot has a limited free tier
Cons
  • Some workflows are less convenient than desktop
  • Reviews mention navigation and UI rough edges
  • Paid Copilot tiers are needed for heavier AI use
