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 plans ranging from free to paid plans, including add-on usage top-ups. When you upgrade a plan, you expand your usage entitlements and feature sets for Docker products.

Think it'd be helpful to front-load this concept (my suggested change makes the sentence a bit long, but you get me)

Also 'add-on usage top-ups'....I get what you're going with but it's hard to parse. is there a better way to phrase this?


Use these resources to choose the right subscription for your needs or manage your existing subscription.
## Docker plans

You can subscribe to plans for individual or organization accounts, or plans for specific products. The following table summarizes the available plans.

| Plans | Billing model | Types |
| ---------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| [Docker Individual](/accounts/) | Flat-rate plans for personal accounts | Docker Personal, Docker Pro |
| [Docker Organization](/admin/) | Flat-rate plans for organization accounts | Docker Team, Docker Business |
| [Docker Hardened Images (DHI)](/dhi/) | Graduated security features for hardened container images | DHI Community, DHI Select, DHI Enterprise |
| [Gordon](/ai/gordon/) | Prepaid usage for the Gordon AI agent | Gordon Plus, Gordon Max, Gordon Ultra |
| [AI Governance](/ai/sandboxes/governance/org/) | 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.

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 top up your account through self-service or by contacting sales.

## Support add-ons

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

To learn more, see [Docker pricing](https://www.docker.com/pricing/).
