Purchasing Image Scan
Last updated:2026-02-27 15:17:59
Billing Overview
The image scan feature provides comprehensive security detection for container images, helping you identify vulnerabilities, trojans, and sensitive data risks within your images. It supports one-click scan, scheduled scan, and risk screening and investigation, and provides professional repair plans, ensuring a secure and trustworthy containerized environment for enterprises.
Billing Mode
Prepaid or monthly subscription, which is purchased based on your estimated image scan count. The first scan of each image costs $0.06 per scan per month, and subsequent scans cost $0.006 per scan per month (image scan is only available for Professional Edition users, with the purchase duration matching that of Professional Edition, and the number of scans should be a multiple of 300).
Notes on Fees
It adopts a monthly quota system. For the first scan of each image (if there is no historical scan result for this image), 1 quota of the current month will be consumed. For each repeated scan of the same image (if there is a historical scan result for this image), 0.1 scan quotas will be consumed. The unused quota from the previous month will be invalid and will not be carried over to the next month. It is recommended that you make a reasonable purchase of your monthly scan quotas based on actual demand to fully utilize the resources.
Note:
For example, you purchased an image scan quota of 300 scans at 14:00 on March 15, 2024.
From March 15, 2024 at 14:00 to April 15, 2024 at 14:00, scan image A 100 times. The first scan will consume 1 quota, and the remaining 99 scans will consume 9.9 quotas. In total, 10.9 quotas will be consumed, and the remaining 289.1 quotas will be unused (and will be invalidated).
On April 15, 2024, the scanning quota for the image will be reset to 300 times. It can be used from April 15, 2024 at 14:00 to May 15, 2024 at 14:00.
Enabling Scan
