The basic license is 5 dollars a month. I think that's a low price, if you consider the time cost of exploring alternatives.
Additionally, it's a shame that the docker company struggles to profit from their revolutionary technology: operations, devops and infra looks completely different than 10 years ago and they played a big role in it.
We were on the "Docker Teams" plan, paying $7/user/month. With this pricing change, since we are over 100 users, we bump to "Docker Business" paying $24/user/month, more than a 3x price increase!
At that price point, it's definitely worth looking at what other choices there are.
