# Subscription and billing


A Docker plan is a subscription tied to a personal account, an organization
account, or a specific product. When you upgrade a plan, you expand your
usage entitlements and feature sets. You can also top up some plans,
extending usage without changing your plan type.

## Docker plans

The following table summarizes the available plans.

| Plans | Billing model | Types |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Docker](/subscription-billing/plans/docker/) | Flat-rate plans for personal and organization accounts | Docker Personal, Docker Pro, Docker Team, Docker Business |
| [Docker Hardened Images (DHI)](/subscription-billing/plans/dhi/) | Graduated security features for hardened container images | DHI Community, DHI Select, DHI Enterprise |
| [Gordon](/subscription-billing/plans/gordon/) | Prepaid usage for the Gordon AI agent | Gordon Plus, Gordon Max, Gordon Ultra |
| [AI Governance](/subscription-billing/plans/ai-governance/) | Purchase set amount of licenses | AI Governance |
| [Docker Verified Publisher (DVP)](/subscription-billing/plans/docker-verified-publisher/) | Annual plans based on consuming domains | DVP Starter, DVP Growth |

Docker plans that upgrade your account (Docker Pro, Team, and Business) cover
most use cases. Some product plans require an upgraded Docker account. Others
let you subscribe without one. For details, see
[Plans](/subscription-billing/plans/).

## Top up your plan

Plans come with usage entitlements that can be 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 |
| Consuming domains | Additional consuming domains tracked in publisher analytics, sold in blocks of 25. | DVP Starter, DVP Growth |
