This PR captures changes made to the subscription/_index page. It doesn't include future work for breaking /scale into individual product subscription types.

akristen and others added 4 commits June 25, 2026 07:59
Replace the minimal subscription landing page with a structured overview
that explains Docker Core vs product-based plan types, unit-based top-ups
(seats, licenses, minutes, repositories), and support add-on tiers.

Updates title, description, keywords, weight, and aliases. Retains the
existing grid_subscriptions front matter and card links unchanged.

Review bot @docker-agent always the first to nitpick but never there to say it looks good 👎

Noice. I like the use of tables to make the distinction between all the various plans and what they apply to. efficiency 🤝

| 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 |

This table is only gonna get longer when DVP brings out credits loooool 😅


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

I have a second wave of updates that I'm hoping to get to this week. It'll remove /scale and replace it with a /subscriptions/plans category where each top up action will be in plan docs

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?

Updated to read:

You can subscribe to several Docker plans that range from free to paid plans. When you upgrade a plan, you expand your usage entitlements and feature sets for Docker products. Docker plans also let you top up some plans, extending usage to a particular capability without an upgrade.

yes! clearer! I think the last sentence could be tweaked even further. Perhaps 'You can also top up some plans, extending usage to more users without needing a full upgrade.' 🤔 is that the right emphasis in the right places?

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?

This is tricky, and I'm hoping that adding a /plans category will clarify a lot of these questions for users. Once we have that PR raised, I plan to cross link to the _index page that can go into the next level of detail about plan specifics.

i.e., I think we should revisit this feedback once that PR is raised and then decide if we should add these details here in the overview or in the plans index 🤔

As a temporary work around:

Docker plans that upgrade your account (Docker Pro or Docker Team and Business) can provide a foundation for most use cases. Some product plans may require an upgraded Docker account while other product plans let you subscribe without an upgraded account. To learn more, see Scale your subscription.

This PR expands the subscription overview page with a new plans table, top-up section, and support add-ons section. The content is well-structured and factually clear. Two style guide issues were found in the newly added text.

Thanks @akristen. This is a good foundation. The table and linking out to individual plans will make more sense when the next set of updates land.

Let's :shipit:
