Why would you prefer your own personal subscription over a business plan?

I just checked the offering today and was confused why the personal subscription is with $10 almost half of the business plan with $19. After some more browsing I found a page which claimed that a business plan had better privacy protection (e.g. your input is not used for training). So the business plan seems to be a tad better.

Because they want to use it for other stuff than their job?

In that case it looks like they want to conduct personal/other business on company computer, which in itself is a no no.

Then do it on your personal account?

Org manages spend limits and controls policies on how Copilot behaves.

If the org hits their spending limit, you're SOL.

Some people qualify for a free personal subscription.

Some qualifications are based on GitHub contributions. If those are tired to the same account you use for work, you're out of luck.

GitHub encouraging and enabling using the same account for work (-for-hire) and personal (or work, but owned by yourself) might've been great for growth, but it's a risk managment minefield.
