Can I still use Docker Desktop after cancelling my subscription?

Docker Desktop is free for personal use and small businesses (fewer than 250 employees and less than $10M revenue). Larger organizations require a paid subscription.

What happens to my private repositories?

On the free plan, you're limited to 1 private repository. Additional private repos may become inaccessible until you upgrade or make them public.

Will my image pull rate be affected?

Yes, the free tier is limited to 200 image pulls per 6 hours for authenticated users and 100 for anonymous users, compared to 5,000 for Pro subscribers.
