Gemfury vs Packagecloud

Gemfury is a hosted repository for public and private software packages. It supports RubyGems, npm, PyPI, Go Modules, Composer, Maven, DEB, RPM, Bower, and NuGet. Packages can be uploaded through a web interface or command line, with transfers to the repository over SSL. Private packages can be deployed through a Gemfury Repo URL using existing package-management tools and workflows. Gemfury says a secret token in the URL protects packages, and uploads, deployments, and installations use SSL. Users can share an account with coworkers; business plans add separate billing, multi-ownership, and fine-grained permission control. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited collaborators, public packages, and versions, but no private packages. Personal 1C costs $9 a month for one collaborator; Team 10P costs $25 a month for unlimited collaborators and 10 private packages. Gemfury offers a 14-day trial without a credit card and says trial use has no limits. Packages are deleted one month after account cancellation and cannot be recovered.

Packagecloud stores and distributes software packages through an automated service, available in the cloud or on-premises. It supports formats including npm, APT/Debian, Maven, Yum/RPM, RubyGems, and Python packages; Alpine, Helm, and Docker repositories are also listed. Users can manage packages through a graphical interface, command-line tools, or an API, with access control and collaboration features. Listed CI integrations include CircleCI, Travis CI, Jenkins, Buildkite, and GitHub Actions, while build-tool integrations include Maven, Leiningen, Gradle, and SBT. On-premises deployments can run behind a corporate firewall or inside a perimeter network. Packagecloud says its websites and microservices use SSL/TLS encryption, and that it is SOC 2 compliant. Audit and penetration test reports are available to customers on request under a signed NDA. It also says it complies with HIPAA standards and can sign a Business Associate Agreement. The free plan includes 10 GB bandwidth and 2 GB storage. Paid plans start with Starter at $89 a month, and paid plans have 14-day trials. Bandwidth and storage overage charges may apply on paid plans.
