How CloudRepo compares to JFrog and Sonatype
JFrog charges for every GB past what its base plan includes. A team of 20 engineers running 200 CI builds a working day stores and downloads about 1,860 GB a month. JFrog Enterprise X (JFrog's plan with SSO) is $2,934.75 a month, list price at this usage; CloudRepo Team at $499/month billed annually saves $2,435.75 a month.

MFA and SSO on every plan
What you get on every CloudRepo plan
-
Maven, npm, Python and Docker in one place
Unlimited repositories and users, every format on every plan.
-
Packages for your customers
Make a repository public and anyone can install from it without a credential, or keep it private and give each customer read-only access keys to the repositories you choose.
-
No cloud account to sign in
A build signs in with a username and password, or a repository token, in its settings file, from any CI, laptop or cloud.
-
An audit log
Sign-ins, token changes, uploads and changes to the MFA requirement, newest first, for the organization's owner and admins.
-
A monthly price
Tiers differ on storage and transfer allowance. Nothing else. If you exceed your monthly transfer allowance, we reach out first. Nothing is throttled, no build ever stops, and there are no automatic charges. Sustained overage is billed at $120 per additional TB, always rounded down in your favor (2.9 TB over = 2 TB billed = $240).

Move in with one command
Install it with pipx install cloudrepo-migrate. One command moves Maven and npm from Nexus 2 or 3, plus PyPI and every tag of every hosted Docker image from Nexus 3, and checks every file it moves. Docker needs cloudrepo-migrate 0.6.0 or later. From Artifactory, it moves the local Maven repositories.

What each costs as usage grows
JFrog and Sonatype bill per GB on top of a base, so the bill depends on how much you store and download.
JFrog Artifactory
JFrog publishes monthly prices for Pro and Enterprise X. 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 Enterprise X (JFrog's plan with SSO): list price at this usage | CloudRepo | Difference a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 GB stored, 500 GB downloaded | $1,543.75 | Team: $499/month billed annually | CloudRepo costs $1,044.75 less |
| 500 GB stored, 2 TB downloaded | $3,480.75 | Business: $999/month billed annually | CloudRepo costs $2,481.75 less |
| 1 TB stored, 6 TB downloaded | $6,680.55 | Business: $999/month billed annually | CloudRepo costs $5,681.55 less |
| 25 GB stored, 50 GB downloaded | $950.00 | Starter: $199/month billed annually | CloudRepo costs $751.00 less |

Sonatype Nexus
Sonatype prices Nexus Pro Cloud by the year, so both columns show an annual plan's price per month. 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 | Nexus Pro Cloud, annual plan, a month | CloudRepo | Difference a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 GB stored, 500 GB downloaded | $795.00 | Team: $499/month billed annually | CloudRepo costs $296.00 less |
| 500 GB stored, 2 TB downloaded | $2,390.00 to $2,585.00 | Business: $999/month billed annually | CloudRepo costs $1,391.00 to $1,586.00 less |
| 1 TB stored, 6 TB downloaded | Not published: Sonatype quotes above 2,500 GB a month | Business: $999/month billed annually | |
| 25 GB stored, 50 GB downloaded | $217.50 | Starter: $199/month billed annually | CloudRepo costs $18.50 less |
Sonatype’s tier table reads two ways, so a row can show a range.

PredictableIf you exceed your monthly transfer allowance, we reach out first. Nothing is throttled, no build ever stops, and there are no automatic charges. Occasional spikes are simply fine. Sustained overage is billed at $120 per additional TB, always rounded down in your favor (2.9 TB over = 2 TB billed = $240). Storage growth is a prorated one-click plan upgrade, not per-GB fees.
