Docker subscriptions provide features and benefits for individual developers, teams, and enterprise businesses. This page explains how to set up subscriptions for personal accounts and organizations.

Before you begin, make sure you have a [Docker ID](../accounts/create-account.md). To learn more about what's included in each tier, see [Docker Pricing](https://www.docker.com/pricing?ref=Docs&refAction=DocsSubscriptionSetup).

## Personal accounts

When you [create your Docker ID](../accounts/create-account.md), you automatically get a Docker Personal subscription. This subscription includes essential Docker tools at no cost.

- To learn about Docker Pro subscriptions, [compare Docker Personal and Docker Pro](https://www.docker.com/pricing/).
- To increase your Gordon usage allowance, see [Scale your subscription](/manuals/subscription/scale.md).

## Organization accounts

You can subscribe a new or existing organization to Docker Team or Business subscriptions. Only organization owners can manage billing for the organization.

1. [Create your Docker ID](../accounts/create-account.md) if you don't already have one.
1. [Create your organization](../admin/organization/setup/orgs.md) or use an existing organization you own.
1. Select **Billing** to view your current plans, then select **Browse products**.
1. From the products catalog page, select **View plans** from the Docker tile.
1. Choose a Docker Team or Business subscription for the organization.
1. Fill in plan entitlements, verify your billing details, then continue to payment to complete checkout.
