JFrog sells Artifactory Cloud as a base fee plus a per-gigabyte charge for everything above 25 GB. On JFrog’s pricing page (read 2026-10-06), the Pro plan lists at $150 a month and is shown at $50 a month in a limited-time offer.
The base fee is the small part. Storage and downloads share one meter, and a busy CI system runs that meter all day. This guide shows the published rates, works three examples through them, and lists what to ask JFrog before you sign. If you are new to artifact management, our primer on repository structure and resolution covers the basics first.
Every JFrog figure below comes from a JFrog page we link, with the date we read it. Figures for CloudRepo come from our pricing page.
Artifactory pricing at a glance
JFrog sells Artifactory two ways: as a cloud service (SaaS) and as software you run yourself (self-managed). All of the following is from JFrog’s pricing page, read 2026-10-06.
Cloud (SaaS) plans
| Plan | Base price | Included usage | Support and access, as listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $150/month list, $50/month in a limited-time offer | 25 GB | Community support, per the pricing page’s FAQ. No 24/7 SLA support listed. JFrog’s Pro page lists a 99.9% uptime SLA for Pro; the pricing page lists 99.9% uptime under Enterprise X |
| Enterprise X | From $950/month | 125 GB | JFrog lists 99.9% uptime, 24/7 SLA support, SSO with SAML and SCIM, repository federation |
| Enterprise+ | Custom pricing | Custom | Everything in Enterprise X, plus multisite federation and distribution, 24/7 high-touch support |
Self-managed plans
| Plan | Starting price | Servers | Support, as listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro X | $27,000/year | 1 server | 24/7 SLA support |
| Enterprise X | $51,000/year | 3 servers | 24/7 SLA support |
| Enterprise+ | Custom pricing | 6 servers | Multisite federation and distribution, 24/7 high-touch support |
Self-managed means you run the servers yourself, so hardware or cloud costs and administration time come on top of these prices.
The $50 offer
JFrog’s pricing page shows Pro at $50 a month with the $150 price struck through and the label “Limited Time Offer”. JFrog’s checkout page (read 2026-10-06) labels it “Limited Time 1 Year” and says “Available only through June 4th 2027”.
The offer changes the base fee. It does not change the per-GB rates below. Ask JFrog how long a new subscriber keeps the $50 rate and what the base fee becomes afterward.
How the consumption meter works
JFrog counts storage and data transfer as one number. Its usage documentation defines it: consumption is “the sum of the peak storage and the total amount of data transferred during the calendar month” (read 2026-10-06).
Warning
Downloads and storage share one meter. A CI job that pulls an artifact adds to it every time it runs, and storage is counted at its monthly peak, so deleting artifacts mid-month does not lower that month’s storage figure.
Pro includes 25 GB of consumption. Above that, JFrog’s pricing and checkout pages list these rates (the note below explains the first boundary), and say the “tier discount” applies only to the consumption inside each tier:
| Total GB consumed in the month | Price per GB |
|---|---|
| First 25 GB | Included |
| 25 to 1,024 GB | $1.25 |
| 1,024 to 2,024 GB | $1.00 |
| Above 2,024 GB | $0.75 |
One boundary, two numbers
JFrog’s pricing page prints the first boundary as 1,204 GB. Its checkout page prints 1,024 GB, and the worked example on both pages (1,060 GB consumed is 25 GB included, 999 GB at $1.25 and 36 GB at $1.00) matches 1,024. Every example in this guide stays under 1,024 GB, so the difference does not touch them. Ask JFrog which boundary your contract uses.
Enterprise X starts at 125 GB included and has five rates: $1.25 from 125 GB, $1.00 from 1,124 GB, $0.75 from 2,124 GB, $0.55 from 6,124 GB and $0.33 above 20,124 GB. JFrog’s page says scalable consumption rates are available with annual contracts.
Three worked examples
The numbers below use JFrog’s published Pro rates. The team sizes, build counts and artifact sizes are our assumptions, so substitute your own.
Example: 10 developers, active CI
- 100 GB of stored artifacts
- 50 builds a day, 200 MB downloaded per build
- Transfer: 50 builds x 200 MB x 30 days = 300 GB a month
Storage: 100 GBTransfer: 300 GB─────────────────────────────────────────────────Consumption: 400 GB a month
Base price (list): $150.00First 25 GB: includedNext 375 GB x $1.25: $468.75─────────────────────────────────────────────────Total monthly at list: $618.75 ($7,425 a year)Total monthly at the $50 offer: $518.75 ($6,225 a year)At list, the Pro base fee is about a quarter of the bill. At the offer price it is about a tenth.
Three sizes side by side
| Example | Stored | Transfer a month | Monthly at list | Monthly at the $50 offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small team (5 developers, light CI) | 25 GB | 50 GB | $212.50 | $112.50 |
| Medium team (10 developers, active CI) | 100 GB | 300 GB | $618.75 | $518.75 |
| Larger team (heavy CI) | 400 GB | 600 GB | $1,368.75 | $1,268.75 |
The larger team consumes 1,000 GB a month: 975 GB over the 25 GB included, at $1.25, plus the base fee.
Important
The more your pipelines run, the more the meter reads. That is a fair way to charge for a service. It also means you cannot predict the bill from the plan name, so estimate downloads before you commit.
How CloudRepo prices the same examples
Each CloudRepo plan is a flat price with a storage amount and a monthly transfer allowance. The prices below are from our pricing page.
| Plan | Price | Storage | Transfer a month | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $199/month billed annually, or $239/month billed monthly | 50 GB | 1 TB | Unlimited |
| Team | $499/month billed annually, or $599/month billed monthly | 250 GB | 3 TB | Unlimited |
| Business | $799/month billed annually, or $959/month billed monthly | 1 TB | 6 TB | Unlimited |
| Scale | $1,199/month billed annually, or $1,439/month billed monthly | 2 TB | 12 TB | Unlimited |
If you go over your transfer allowance, we reach out first. There are no automatic charges. Sustained overage is billed at $120 per TB, rounded down in your favor.
JFrog lists Pro by the month only, so the table compares it with CloudRepo billed monthly, the same basis on both sides. Here are the three examples against the plan each one fits:
| Example | JFrog Pro, billed monthly | CloudRepo plan | CloudRepo, billed monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small team | $212.50/month at list, $112.50/month at the offer | Starter | $239/month billed monthly |
| Medium team | $618.75/month at list, $518.75/month at the offer | Team | $599/month billed monthly |
| Larger team | $1,368.75/month at list, $1,268.75/month at the offer | Business | $959/month billed monthly |
Read the table the way you would read a quote:
- For a team this small, JFrog Pro costs less than CloudRepo Starter, at list and at the offer. The meter has barely started.
- For the medium team, JFrog at list costs a little more than CloudRepo Team, and at the offer it costs less.
- For the larger team, CloudRepo costs less at list and at the offer, and the gap is largest, because JFrog’s meter keeps running and CloudRepo’s price does not move inside the allowance.
Paying for a year up front lowers each CloudRepo plan, because monthly billing carries a 20% premium: Starter is $199/month billed annually, Team $499/month billed annually and Business $799/month billed annually. JFrog lists no annual price for Pro, so there is no annual JFrog figure to set beside them.
At more usage
The three examples stop at 1,000 GB a month. Past that, JFrog’s meter keeps running:
JFrog lists Pro by the month only, so both sides are billed monthly. CloudRepo’s column is the cheapest plan that holds the storage, plus its transfer overage ($120 per whole TB past the allowance, rounded down) when there is one. 1 TB is 1,000 GB.
| Stored and downloaded a month | JFrog Pro, billed monthly: at list (at the offer) | CloudRepo, billed monthly | Difference a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 GB stored, 50 GB downloaded | $212.50 ($112.50) | Starter: $239/month billed monthly | JFrog costs $26.50 less (at the offer: JFrog costs $126.50 less) |
| 100 GB stored, 500 GB downloaded | $868.75 ($768.75) | Team: $599/month billed monthly | CloudRepo costs $269.75 less (at the offer: CloudRepo costs $169.75 less) |
| 500 GB stored, 2 TB downloaded | $2,755.75 ($2,655.75) past Pro’s sizing | Business: $959/month billed monthly | CloudRepo costs $1,796.75 less (at the offer: CloudRepo costs $1,696.75 less) |
| 2 TB stored, 6 TB downloaded | $6,880.75 ($6,780.75) past Pro’s sizing | Scale: $1,439/month billed monthly | CloudRepo costs $5,441.75 less (at the offer: CloudRepo costs $5,341.75 less) |
JFrog Pro costs less while usage stays light. On each CloudRepo plan, both billed monthly, CloudRepo costs less from a month’s storage plus downloads of: Starter 97 GB, Team 385 GB, Business 673 GB and Scale 1,065 GB at JFrog’s list price (177, 465, 753 and 1,165 GB at its offer). From there the gap grows with usage.
JFrog sizes Pro for “typically up to 50 users and 2 TB consumption” and recommends Enterprise X from 2 TB to 20 TB, listed from $950 a month, with scalable consumption rates on annual contracts. The marked rows are past that sizing and price Pro.

What to confirm with JFrog
JFrog’s pages leave a few cost questions to the sales conversation. Get the answers in writing.
- Support on Pro. JFrog’s pricing page lists 24/7 SLA support under Enterprise X and Pro X. The Pro cloud plan card shows no support level, and the FAQ on that page says “Community Support - Available for Free solutions and Pro subscriptions”. JFrog’s support page (read 2026-10-06) says its ticket portal is “available to all Pro X, Enterprise and Enterprise+ customers”.
- Scanning. JFrog’s Xray page (read 2026-10-06) says you have Xray “if your SaaS (Cloud) or Self-Hosted subscription is Pro X, Enterprise X or Enterprise+”. Pro (SaaS) is not on that list. JFrog’s usage documentation describes Advanced Security and Curation as add-ons for Enterprise X and Enterprise+, and the pricing page publishes no price for them.
- Security bundles. The pricing page sells Unified Security and Ultimate Security bundles with a base of 200 developers and says to “add additional Devs as needed with volume discounts available”. No price is listed.
- Enterprise+. Custom pricing, quote required.

When Artifactory is the right choice
Artifactory is a capable product, and for some teams it is the better fit. It makes sense if you:
- Need many package formats in one place. JFrog’s Pro page (read 2026-10-06) lists “60+ Package Types”, including Go and ML model registries. CloudRepo hosts Maven, PyPI, npm and Docker/OCI repositories, plus raw files. We do not host NuGet, Go, Debian or RPM packages.
- Need federation across sites or a high-availability cluster. JFrog’s pricing page lists repository federation and, for self-managed Enterprise X, a high-availability setup.
- Want scanning and governance from the same vendor. JFrog sells Xray, Advanced Security and Curation beside the repository.
- Can negotiate. JFrog’s pricing page says Enterprise+ includes “custom consumption” with “the best rates available at scale”.
- Already run on JFrog. Moving a large estate has a cost of its own.
If those describe you, the premium may be worth it.
When a flat price fits better
CloudRepo is built for teams that mainly need Maven, Python, npm or Docker repositories and want a bill they can predict:
- Transfer allowance. Each plan includes a monthly transfer allowance. If you go over, we reach out first. There are no automatic charges, and sustained overage is $120 per TB, rounded down in your favor.
- No per-user fees. Every plan includes unlimited users and repositories.
- No servers to run. We handle the servers, upgrades and patching.
- Support included. Real engineers answer, on every plan.

Questions to ask before you commit
- “What will my bill be at X GB stored and Y GB downloaded a month?” Ask for a number, not a range.
- “How long does the $50 Pro price last, and what is the base fee after it?”
- “Which boundary ends the $1.25 tier, 1,024 GB or 1,204 GB?”
- “What support does my plan include, and what are the response times?”
- “Is Xray included, and what do Advanced Security and Curation cost?”
- “Can I cap consumption, or get an alert before I pass a threshold?”
- “What are the contract term and the cancellation terms?”
Choosing
Artifactory pricing is not hidden, but it is a formula, not a number. The plan name tells you the base fee. Your pipelines tell you the rest.
If you need JFrog’s breadth and have the budget, it is a solid choice. If you mainly need reliable Maven, Python, npm or Docker repositories at a price you can predict, compare CloudRepo’s plans or start a 14-day free trial. No credit card is required.
