For teams storing and distributing container images, registry choices can hinge on controls, capacity and artifact support. Compared on image scanning, immutable tags, retention policies and replication scope, the entries cover several aspects of handling images. Inedo ProGet, JFrog Container Registry and 8gears Container Registry are among the options shown, alongside Chainguard Registry and Quay. Check included storage and maximum image size against what you need to keep, and consider OCI artifacts if your stored materials extend beyond container images. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing provide additional details for comparing registry options.
