Considering that most of the time I run things in Docker and advocate for it, it is only fair that I mention (in case you missed it), that the Docker team has decided to make some changes in their business model.

## Docker goes PRO

Docker always had a paid tier but since yesterday, we now have four (4) tiers of subscriptions.

A complete list of feature comparisons can be found here: <https://www.docker.com/pricing?utm%5Fcampaign=2021-08-31-business-tier-launch&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=mailgun&utm%5Fcontent=pricing>

Docker subscriptions

Current **Docker Free** has been rebranded to **Docker Personal** following the three paid tiers, **Pro**, **Team** and **Business**.

Starting with as low as **$5/month** in the Pro tier all the way up until $21/user/month.

Just to be clear what this all means here are the main points:

- All of Docker’s products and services are now covered by a new set of terms - the [**Docker Subscription Service Agreement**](http://email.notify.docker.com/c/eJwdjkEOgyAURE8jOwgfioUFC01t0mMofiopagO48PalJrOYTPJmZrYKW%5FQkWMEFcC0BDLRSMWDKtHd-H2rKh6GHrrnxbS%5FBn2ze3QcTc%5FtKFqtGAI9iUsJMXns1CzRcKimdQvTISbRLKd%5FcyK4Rz6o%5FnVg8q5U9vgI8SLLpyOUEoaGuvNcxxKu9XK8o11QCnY4cNsyZloCJxvHY3PIDCjM4bg?ref=blackvoid.club).
- [Docker subscriptions](http://email.notify.docker.com/c/eJwdjk0OgyAUhE8jOwhPBHHBwib2Bj0APlFJ%5FWkAk3L7UpNZTCb5ZmYy0ik3E29qXgPXAqADJSQDJjvV8nYoKR-GB%5FRVw48z-Tmz6cS3CwzPnazGtgh2llqhcBw6lNjAiHOjxk45tJpsZk3pEyvRV%5FWz6E8HtuVixfJ9ZZlJMOGKKUOtoawsu%5FXb3Z7uV5RrKoCOV%5FSHi5Em7wLd7HXg-gNBnzks?ref=blackvoid.club) now encompass four tiers of service: **Personal**, **Pro**, **Team**, and **Business** (a new tier of service). Each tier includes [Docker Desktop](http://email.notify.docker.com/c/eJwdjjsOwyAYg0-TbCB-HgEGhlSiV-hMgTSoeQnIkNuXRvJgWfpsByPiEKc-GUooEMUANAxMYMBCD5JI21Ji7QPGjpNtr2m6cNj9N2bs97WfjWTMBa35xIgLQmntg%5FD0zXUkUk1c9IuZaz1Kx8aOPpv-dMbL1Sx9bZYfpc8mn6VeQBW0lc%5Fq0nK31%5FsVIgoxQO-zpC2WgmqKGS3u3Pz8A-vQOEc?ref=blackvoid.club).
- The existing Docker Free subscription has been renamed Docker Personal. **[Docker Desktop](http://email.notify.docker.com/c/eJwdjjsOwyAYg0-TbCB-HgEGhlSiV-hMgTSoeQnIkNuXRvJgWfpsByPiEKc-GUooEMUANAxMYMBCD5JI21Ji7QPGjpNtr2m6cNj9N2bs97WfjWTMBa35xIgLQmntg%5FD0zXUkUk1c9IuZaz1Kx8aOPpv-dMbL1Sx9bZYfpc8mn6VeQBW0lc%5Fq0nK31%5FsVIgoxQO-zpC2WgmqKGS3u3Pz8A-vQOEc?ref=blackvoid.club)** remains **free for personal use**, **education**, **non-commercial** open-source projects, **and small businesses** (fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10M USD in annual revenue).
- Commercial use of Docker Desktop in larger enterprises (more than 250 employees OR more than $10 million USD in annual revenue) requires a [Docker Pro, Team or Business subscription](http://email.notify.docker.com/c/eJwdjk0OgyAUhE8jOwhPBHHBwib2Bj0APlFJ%5FWkAk3L7UpNZTCb5ZmYy0ik3E29qXgPXAqADJSQDJjvV8nYoKR-GB%5FRVw48z-Tmz6cS3CwzPnazGtgh2llqhcBw6lNjAiHOjxk45tJpsZk3pEyvRV%5FWz6E8HtuVixfJ9ZZlJMOGKKUOtoawsu%5FXb3Z7uV5RrKoCOV%5FSHi5Em7wLd7HXg-gNBnzks?ref=blackvoid.club) for as little as $5 per user per month.
- [Docker Business](http://email.notify.docker.com/c/eJwdjrsOwyAUQ78mbCDuBfIYGFIpnbt1DoE0qHlUQNrm70sjebAsHdtWK1e6kXiNHIHXAqCBUigGTDVlxasup7zrLtAWkq9b8uPB7DY8XWDDtpBJGzOMUo09msZKh9Ly0gKHpsowoFFk1lNKr1iItsBr1p8ObD6yxfv3c3sHEnTYYzoAa8grj6X389mezleU11QANXv0q4uRJu8Cnft9HaYfFLY4sQ?ref=blackvoid.club) is a new offering for organizations using Docker at scale for application development and requiring additional features like centralized management and secure software supply chain capabilities.

> The new terms **take effect on August 31, 2021** with a **grace period until January 31, 2022** for those that will require a paid subscription to continue using Docker Desktop. By continuing to use Docker, you are agreeing to the new [Docker Subscription Service Agreement](http://email.notify.docker.com/c/eJwdjkEOgyAURE8jOwgfioUFC01t0mMofiopagO48PalJrOYTPJmZrYKW%5FQkWMEFcC0BDLRSMWDKtHd-H2rKh6GHrrnxbS%5FBn2ze3QcTc%5FtKFqtGAI9iUsJMXns1CzRcKimdQvTISbRLKd%5FcyK4Rz6o%5FnVg8q5U9vgI8SLLpyOUEoaGuvNcxxKu9XK8o11QCnY4cNsyZloCJxvHY3PIDCjM4bg?ref=blackvoid.club).

So what does all this mean for us enthusiasts and hobbyists? Well not much. For my humble needs, 200 Docker image pulls per day, and 1 organization, I can say that Docker Personal is more than enough (for now).

As a side note, in case you want to play with Docker in a non-CLI environment, consider running all your Docker tasks with [Portainer](https://www.blackvoid.club/tag/portainer/).
