Docker subscriptions provide licensing for commercial use of Docker products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, Docker Build Cloud, Docker Scout, and Testcontainers Cloud.
Docker offers several Docker plans that range from base, free plans to a variety of paid tiers. When you upgrade a plan, you expand your usage entitlements and feature sets for Docker products. This page breaks down the different Docker plans you can subscribe to and how to top up certain plans.

## Docker plans

You can subscribe to plans that upgrade your individual and organization accounts, or subscribe to plans for specific products. The table below summarizes the current available plans.

| Plans | Billing model | Types |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| [Docker Individual](/accounts/) | Flat-rate tiers for personal accounts | Docker Personal, Docker Pro |
| [Docker Organization](/admin/) | Flat-rate tiers for organization accounts | Docker Team, Docker Business |
| [Docker Hardened Images (DHI)](/dhi/) | Tiered access to hardened container image repositories | DHI Community, DHI Select, DHI Enterprise |
| [Gordon](/ai/gordon/) | Prepaid usage tiers added to a base plan | Gordon Plus, Gordon Max, Gordon Ultra |
| [AI Governance](/ai/sandboxes/governance/) | Purchase set amount of licenses | AI Governance |

Docker plans for accounts (like individual or organizations) provide a foundation for most users. Some product plans may require a Docker plan for accounts while some products may not need an upgraded Docker plan at all.

A user might ask 'how come plans for accounts provide a foundation for most users? what's included in them? Is it worth expanding this sentence to indicate it gives you access to most things, or maybe even an extra table column?

I also wonder if the bit about some plans depending on other plans could be bought into the table too?


To subscribe to a plan, you can self-serve through **Billing** in [Docker Home](https://app.docker.com), or contact sales. See [Scale your subscription](/subscription/scale/) to find out which applies to the plan you want.

## Top up your plan

nit: I like 'top up' but you may need to update the other subscription page that talks about 'scaling' or vica versa. either way - consistency


Plans come with usage entitlements that can be granularly extended without upgrading to a different plan.

| Unit | Description | Examples |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Seats | Each seat extends entitlements to one more member. | Docker Team, Docker Business |
| Licenses | Access to specific products or features. | AI Governance, Docker Offload |
| Minutes | Cloud build capacity, sold in blocks and consumed within the billing period. | Docker Build Cloud |
| Repositories | Additional container repositories covered by security scanning and analysis features. | DHI |

Depending on the plan, you can self-serve topping up your account or you may need to contact sales.

## Support add-ons

Standard support is included with paid plans and scales with plan tier. Docker also offers Premium Support and TAM (technical advisory manager) service as an add-on for Docker Business and DHI customers, which provides 24×7 response, priority SLAs, and expert guidance.
