Docker Scout billing

Table of contents

Important

Docker is introducing enhanced subscription plans. Our new plans are packed with more features, higher usage limits, and simplified pricing. The new subscription plans take effect at your next renewal date that occurs on or after December 10, 2024. No charges on Docker Hub image pulls or storage will be incurred before February 28, 2025. See Announcing Upgraded Docker Plans for more details and learn how your usage fits into these updates.

Docker Scout lets users secure their software supply chain and continuously observe and improve their security posture. Docker Scout is free for up to 3 repositories. You can buy Docker Scout Team or Docker Scout Business to turn on Docker Scout for additional repositories. See Docker Scout subscription and features to select the plan that works for you.

In this section, learn how to buy and manage a Docker Scout Team subscription for your personal account or for an organization. If you're an organization with multiple teams, a Docker Scout Business plan may be better. To buy Docker Scout Business, contact sales.

Note

You need to be an owner to manage billing for an organization.

  1. Go to Billing settings in the Docker Scout Dashboard.
  2. The default plan is Docker Scout Free. Next to the plan name, select Change plan.
