-You can switch between the billing settings for each of your accounts by using the context switcher. See [Switching between settings for your different accounts](#switching-between-settings-for-your-different-accounts).
+* **Subscriptions**: Fixed monthly costs for account plans (for example: {% data variables.product.prodname_pro %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_team %}) and paid products (for example: {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %})
+* **Usage-based billing**: Variable costs that depend on how much you use certain features (for example: {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %})
 
-The bill for each account is a combination of subscriptions and usage-based billing. Subscriptions include your account's plan, such as {% data variables.product.prodname_pro %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_team %}, as well as paid products that have a consistent monthly cost, such as {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} and apps from {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}.
+Each account type has its own billing settings that you manage separately.
 
-Usage-based billing applies when the cost of a paid product depends on how much you use the product. For example, the cost of {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} depends on how many minutes your jobs spend running and how much storage your artifacts use.
+* **For you personal account**: Your bill includes subscriptions for your personal account and charges for any usage that exceeds the included amounts.
 
-Your plan may come with included amounts of usage-based products. For example, with {% data variables.product.prodname_pro %}, your personal account gets 3,000 minutes of {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage for free each month. You can control usage beyond the included amounts by setting spending limits.
+* **For your organization**: Your organization's bill is separate from your personal account bill. It includes subscriptions for your organization and charges for any usage that exceeds the included amounts.
+{% ifversion ghec %}
+* **For your enterprise**: Enterprise accounts are billed separately from personal accounts and standalone organizations. The bill includes the subscription to {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} and the costs of all the organizations it owns.

 ## Managing billing settings
 
 You must manage billing settings, payment method, and paid features and products for each of your accounts separately. You can choose to pay monthly or yearly for each account. All subscriptions and usage-based billing associated with an account shares a billing date, payment method, and receipt.
