Frequently Asked Questions
- How does CloudRepo compare to JFrog Artifactory?
- CloudRepo offers flat, predictable pricing with no egress fees, starting at $199/month for unlimited users and a generous transfer allowance. JFrog uses consumption-based pricing that scales with your CI/CD usage, often resulting in monthly costs 5-10x the base price. See our detailed JFrog alternative comparison.
- How does CloudRepo compare to Sonatype Nexus?
- The biggest difference is hosting: Nexus requires self-hosting (your servers, your maintenance, your backups), while CloudRepo is fully managed. Most teams find the total cost of running Nexus Pro (license + infrastructure + staff time) is 3-5x what CloudRepo charges. See our detailed Nexus alternative comparison.
- What repository formats does CloudRepo support?
- CloudRepo supports Maven, npm, Python (PyPI), Docker/OCI, and Raw (HTTP) repositories. All formats are available on every plan with unlimited repositories. Group repositories aggregate several repositories behind a single URL, and Maven and Python repositories can proxy upstream registries.
What our customers say
“We were industrializing our partner-startup's codebase, and they were missing an artifact repository. We needed a private Maven repository, and we didn't want to set it up ourselves on AWS. We felt that CloudRepo was priced nicely with a good feature set. In my experience, managing a private repository takes maintenance (cleaning up snapshots, resizing disks, upgrades...) and I didn't want my team to waste time with that.”
“We use CloudRepo because we needed a closed source Maven Repository that could be easily managed to provide/restrict access to our clients, didn't cost the world to use, and that wouldn't require significant effort to set up/maintain.”
