New pricing goes into effect on December 10, 2024, for all new customers.

For all existing customers, new pricing will take effect on your next renewal date after December 9, 2024. When you renew, you will receive the benefits and entitlements of the new plans. Between now and your renewal date, your existing plan details will apply.

The customer is required to pay for the total number of authorized users to a paid subscription plan. Customers have the flexibility to adjust the actual users in the system to access the products as long as the total number of authorized users is consistent with the paid user count.

Once a subscription is active, Docker will automatically provision and activate the account for the customer to access each of the products. Please refer to this doc for more details.

Yes. By default, once the subscription is active, the users of a subscription plan will have access to all products. At the same time, the owners or admins of a subscription plan can disable a service in the admin console. Please refer to this doc for more details.

Each subscription plan clearly defines its features, usage limits, and costs. Customers who want access to any paid products or features must subscribe to a paid plan.

For small companies with fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10M in revenue, Docker will continue to offer free usage of Docker Desktop only under the following terms:

4.2 Specific License Limitations for Standalone use of Docker Desktop.
(a) The use of Docker Desktop without a paid Subscription, is further restricted
(i) to your use for a non-commercial open source project and/or (ii) use in a commercial undertaking with fewer than 250 employees and less than US $10,000,000 (or equivalent local currency) in annual revenue. Government Entities shall not use Docker Desktop or access other Entitlements of the Service without purchasing a Subscription

Docker’s open-source software such as the Docker Engine is accessible for all and supported by the Moby project maintainers and community members.

Docker Team and Docker Business customers with 25 or more Users may purchase annual plans with an invoice by contacting sales.
For business subscription plan customers, Docker’s Sales team can also assist you in pre-purchasing consumption-based products (Build Cloud minutes, Scout Repos, Testcontainers Cloud runtime minutes, and Hub consumption) with an invoice.

For the sales-led purchase, an invoice will be issued to the customers at the end of the monthly billing cycle when on-demand consumption is incurred.

Docker Hub consumption pricing provides flexibility and scalability, allowing users to pay for additional pulls and storage beyond what’s included in their plans. The Docker Hub consumption pricing will take effect on March 1, 2025.

Docker Pro users have 25K Docker Hub pulls and 2GB storage per private repo included per month. Team and Business users have 100K and 1M Docker Hub pulls and 50GB and 500GB storage per month per subscription respectively. For additional pulls and storage, users have the option to pre-purchase consumption or pay for consumption on demand. Please refer to our docs for included pulls and storage for your plans.

For all existing customers, new Hub consumption pricing will take effect on your next renewal date after March 1, 2025. When you renew, you will receive the benefits and entitlements of the new plans. Between now and your renewal date, your existing plan details will apply.

All billing contacts and/or organization owners who may be affected by the upcoming Docker Hub image pull and storage limits were sent a communication. Review your Docker Hub usage, optimize image pulls, audit and remove repositories, delete duplicate user accounts in Docker, pre-purchase consumption or upgrade to a high tier plan are some ways to help you manage Hub usage and limits. Please refer to this doc for more info on best practices.

An image pull includes both a version check and any images downloaded as a result of a pull request from either public or private repositories on Docker Hub.

Version checks that don’t result in image downloads do not count towards usage pricing.

There is no hourly image pull rate limit for users or automated systems with a paid subscription. However, the monthly pull count limits still apply. For example, for Docker Pro users, there’s no hourly image pull rate limit but if they go over their monthly allotment of 25, 000 pulls/month, they must pay for the additional consumption for that month.

Docker Personal users using Docker Hub will experience hourly rate limits on image pull requests. For authenticated Personal users, there is a 40 pull/hour rate limit per user; for unauthenticated users, there is a 10 pull/hour rate limit per IP address.

For more information on image pull rates, please visit this doc.

Each subscription plan has restrictions on the storage space used by all private repositories under the plan.

Private repository storage is calculated monthly based on the amount of storage at the start of each month plus the net amount of storage accumulated throughout the month, calculated hourly. We refer to this calculation as TimedStorage-ByteHrs. Only storage that exceeds your included limit is billed.

For more information on storage space definition, usage, and examples please check out the Hub doc page.

Customers have the option to pre-purchase image pulls or storage beyond their plan’s limit. Unit pricing for pre-purchased consumption is less than for on-demand consumption.

For customers who have not pre-purchased additional consumption, or their actual consumption exceeds their pre-purchased amount, on-demand charges will apply. On-demand consumption is charged at a slightly higher rate than pre-purchased consumption.

Customers are free to purchase any amount of consumption at any time during the subscription period. All pre-purchased consumption expires at the end of a customer’s subscription term. Docker offers subscriptions on a monthly, annual, and, in some cases, multi-year basis. For example, if an annual customer pre-purchases consumption halfway through their subscription term, those pre-purchased consumption will expire at the end of their annual subscription term.

To determine how much to buy for the consumption of image pulls and storage on Docker Hub, you can follow these steps:

Review Your Current Usage

• Monitor usage in real-time: Docker Hub provides a dashboard where you can track your current usage of image pulls and storage. This dashboard will show you how many image pulls have been made and how much storage has been used relative to the limits of the plan.

Estimate Future Needs

• Analyze historical data: Look at usage patterns over the past few months to estimate how much will likely be needed in the future. If your usage is increasing, plan for higher consumption.
• Consider upcoming use cases: If you have new projects or expect increased activity, factor that into your estimates for future consumption.

Plan for Peak Usage

• Account for peak periods: If your usage varies significantly (e.g., you have peak periods of activity), consider pre-purchasing more to cover these times.

Calculate Additional Needs

• Image Pulls: If you know your average number of pulls per month and anticipate an increase, calculate the difference between your expected usage and your current plan’s limit. Purchase additional pulls in increments that match or slightly exceed this difference.
• Storage: Calculate how much additional storage you’ll need based on the size of your repositories and any new content you plan to store. Buy storage in increments that align with your expected growth.

Email alerts will be available when Hub pricing goes into effect. The Hub organization owners and admins will be notified when approaching their usage limits. For example, at 80%, 90%, or 100% of the total consumption which includes both consumption that comes with the subscription and any pre-purchased amount.

In-product notification will also be available at a later time.

As of December 10th, 2024, Docker will no longer offer Service Accounts as an add-on for customers on new plans.

Existing Service Account agreements will be honored until their current term expires. Going forward, pre-purchased consumption of pulls will take place of Service Accounts.

The Docker Sponsored Open Source program will continue on as is, including all resources described in the docs page: https://docs.docker.com/trusted-content/dsos-program/

A key benefit of our DSOS program has always been fewer restrictions on rate limits for those projects that qualify. This will continue to be the case and we will be expanding DSOS resources to ensure ongoing coverage as new projects become popular.

Looking to apply to join DSOS? The program is ideal for developers working on projects without a path to commercialization: https://www.docker.com/community/open-source/application/

A builder is a build engine that you can use to run your builds. Each subscription plan comes with a default builder configuration. Contact sales if you need additional CPUs, Cache, RAM, IOPs, or builders. For more information on builders, visit ​​https://docs.docker.com/build/builders/.

“Build Minutes” refers to the amount of minutes used by the builders to access Docker Build Cloud whether from a user or automated system.

Usage is shown in the Docker Build Cloud admin portal.

Customers can view their usage at any time by visiting build.docker.com and logging in to their account. From there, consumption notifications can be modified under Settings & Billing. Select “Consumption notifications” to specify which users will receive notifications and when notifications are sent.

Yes. The Hub organization owner or admin can disable the service for the organization. Please refer to this doc for more info.

A “Scout-enabled repository” is an image repository that has been explicitly enabled for Scout’s advanced image analysis.

Plan limits relating to Scout-enabled repositories refer to a maximum number of repositories that can be enabled with Docker Scout at any point in time.
For more information, please refer to this doc.

Personal and Pro users have access to 1 and 2 Scout-enabled repositories respectively.

Those customers can access an unlimited number of Scout-enabled repositories by upgrading to a Team or Business plan.

Please visit https://scout.docker.com/settings/repos. The repositories view provides real-time data on how many Scout-enabled repositories are enabled compared to your plan’s limit.

Yes. The owner and administrators of the Hub organization can delete the Scout account to disable the service access in their Hub organization. Please refer to our docs for more info.

All paid subscriptions receive an amount of minutes included each month. These included minutes do not rollover. Customers can pre-purchase additional minutes by contacting their sales reps. If no minutes have been pre-purchased, customers will be billed for minutes exceeding their plan limits at the end of each monthly billing cycle at the on-demand rate.

Users can see their usage on the https://app.testcontainers.cloud/dashboard/billing page. We send monthly invoices that contain the number of worker minutes/seats used in the previous month.

Yes. The Testcontainers Cloud admin can delete the account and disable the service for the Hub organization. Refer to our docs for additional info.
