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 [Docker plans](/manuals/subscription/plans/_index.md).

## 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 |

[Docker Verified Publisher (DVP)](/manuals/docker-hub/repos/manage/trusted-content/dvp-program.md)
is a program for commercial publishers who distribute content on Docker
Hub. DVP Starter and DVP Growth are paid plans for organization
accounts. They add publisher analytics and reporting on top of your
verified publisher status.

- DVP Starter includes verified publisher status, prioritized search
ranking, Docker Scout vulnerability scanning, and a summary analytics
report.
- DVP Growth extends Starter with a trends report, tracked company
reports, and 25 included tracked companies.

> [!TIP]
> You subscribe to a DVP plan by first submitting an application for
> review. See
> [Apply for DVP Starter or Growth](#apply-for-dvp-starter-or-growth).

## Usage

Any organization can hold a DVP plan with or without Docker Team or
Docker Business. If you only have a Docker Personal or Docker Pro
account, you can create an organization when you apply.

Tracked companies represent the unique companies that pull your images
over a period. You can add more tracked companies to a DVP Growth plan
in increments of 25 from the billing portal. For
steps, see [Add tracked companies](#add-tracked-companies).

For details on the reports available to verified publishers, see
[Insights and analytics](/manuals/docker-hub/repos/manage/trusted-content/insights-analytics.md).

## Apply for DVP Starter or Growth

To add DVP Starter or DVP Growth, apply for a DVP plan, then subscribe
after approval.

1. Go to the [DVP landing page](https://hub.docker.com/publisher-program).
The page contains information about DVP Starter and DVP Growth.
1. Select **Apply for Growth**.
1. Select an existing organization namespace, or create a new one if
needed.
1. Fill in the content you want to publish and select DVP Starter or
DVP Growth.
1. Submit your application for review with **Submit application**, then
continue to **Configure your plan**.
1. If approved, you will receive an email to complete checkout. Open the link, then select the plan you applied for from the **Configure your plan**
page.
1. Verify your billing details, continue to payment, and complete
checkout.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Your account is charged only upon approval, which you receive as an
> email notification.

## Add tracked companies

On a DVP Growth plan, you can add tracked companies from the billing
portal:

1. Sign in to [Docker Home](https://app.docker.com/) and go to
**Billing**.
1. From **Active plans**, select **Manage** next to **Docker Verified
Publisher**.
1. Select **Add tracked companies** under **Tracked companies**.
1. Select the number of tracked companies you want to add to your
subscription.
1. Verify your billing details, continue to payment, and complete
checkout.

## Billing behaviors

DVP Starter and DVP Growth are billed annually. If you have DVP
Starter, you can upgrade to DVP Growth without submitting a new
application. Upgrades take effect immediately.

For DVP Growth plans, you can add additional tracked
companies. Tracked company add-ons are prorated from the date of
purchase for the remainder of your billing period and expire at the
end of your annual subscription. You can reduce your add-on count at
any time. Removing tracked companies takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> No mid-cycle refunds are issued when you reduce tracked company
> add-ons or end a DVP plan.

## Disable auto-renewal

To end a DVP plan, disable automatic renewal. Your plan stays active
until the end of the billing period and then expires. To disable
auto-renewal:

1. Sign in to [Docker Home](https://app.docker.com/) and go to
**Billing**.
1. From **Active plans**, select **Manage** next to **Docker Verified
Publisher**.
1. Select **Disable auto-renewal**.
1. Optional. To remove tracked companies, select **Remove tracked
companies**, then choose the number to remove.
