JFrog Artifactory vs Qovery

JFrog Artifactory manages binaries, packages, containers, releases, AI/ML models, and agent assets as a system of record. It supports more than 40 software build package types, including Docker, Maven, and Gradle, and can serve as a Docker and Kubernetes registry for containers and Helm charts. CLI and REST APIs, Open API specifications, and Artifactory Query Language support automation and searches. Artifactory can run as SaaS or self-managed software, with installation options including Helm, Docker, RPM, Debian, Linux archive, and Windows archive. Integrations include GitHub, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Slack, among others. Storage options include S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, and Filestore Sharding; active/active high availability includes live failover and non-disruptive production upgrades. Security controls include granular permissions and external authentication such as LDAP or SAML. The free self-managed Container Registry edition is limited to Docker, OCI, Helm, Helm OCI, and Generic workflows. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card. Pro costs $50 a month, with consumption-based pricing beyond the 25 GB base; self-managed plans start at $27,000 a year.

Qovery is a Kubernetes control plane that runs on customers’ infrastructure and is designed for use by people and AI agents. It supports deployments on Kubernetes, AWS, Google Cloud, Scaleway, and Azure, with capabilities including GitOps, preview environments, rolling releases, rollback, and approval gates. Its documentation describes real-time logs, metrics, and Kubernetes events without setup. Qovery says its eight AI agent skills work across more than 30 tools, including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot. The MCP Server starts in read-only mode; writes require enabling access in both a connection setting and a separate Console setting, and actions appear in an audit trail. Qovery says customer workloads, secrets, and application data stay in the customer’s cloud account. It reports encryption in transit and at rest, regular third-party penetration tests, and compliance coverage including SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and DORA. Annual plans are listed at $299.00 per month for Team, $899.00 per month for Growth, and $2,999.00 per month for Business. Plans have deployment-minute allowances, and unused minutes do not roll over.
