A container registry supports storing and distributing images and related artifacts in a software delivery workflow. Compare image scanning and immutable tags with retention policies and replication scope to understand the controls listed for managing images. Included storage and maximum image size offer practical capacity details, while OCI artifact support indicates whether the registry covers more than container images. Check free-plan availability and paid-from pricing as part of the comparison. Quay leads these ranked entries, followed by 8gears Container Registry and JFrog Container Registry; Inedo ProGet and Amazon Elastic Container Registry also appear near the start. Weigh the listed features against how your team stores and moves artifacts.
