Cosmoner Container Registry vs JFrog Container Registry

Cosmoner Container Registry is a managed private registry backed by Amazon ECR for storing container images used by apps. Developers can push and pull images from a laptop or CI system with Docker and a Cosmoner API key. Images in a project registry appear in the Apps image deployment flow, where deployments authenticate without a pull secret. Scanning on push is enabled by default and checks images against known vulnerabilities. Images use AES256 encryption by default, with a customer KMS key available for repositories created afterward. Retention settings can keep a selected number of recent images and expire untagged images after a chosen number of days. Repositories are private by default; public repositories require a monthly egress cap and revert to private when it is reached. The product lists nine regions across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, and a registry’s region cannot be changed after creation. Uploads are not charged; egress, storage, and a registry fee are billed separately. The registry fee is $1 a month, prorated from creation; storage is $0.25 a month per GB, and egress is $0.15 a month per GB after the first 10 GB per organization per billing period.

JFrog Container Registry (JCR) is a free, self-managed edition of JFrog Artifactory for container and Helm workflows. It provides local, remote and virtual repositories for Docker, OCI, Helm, Helm OCI and Generic packages. Remote repositories can proxy and cache external registries such as Docker Hub; virtual repositories make several local and remote repositories available through one URL. JCR includes role-based access control, fine-grained permissions for private registries, metadata search, searchable properties and Artifactory Query Language. It supports Helm repositories for Kubernetes deployments and the Docker, Helm and OCI clients used with Artifactory. Self-managed installation options include Linux and Windows archives, RPM, Debian, Docker, Docker Compose and Helm. The free edition does not include JFrog Xray, high availability, build promotion, user plugins, replication or federated repositories. The Pro plan is $50 a month plus tax, with actual monthly price scaling with consumption; it is available only through June 4th 2027. Enterprise X starts at $950 a month, while Enterprise + has custom pricing.
