Best Model Registries in 2026

When you’re adding governance around model development, registry tools help you track versions and artifacts, manage aliases, and connect models with deployment workflows. Compare the entries on approval workflows, artifact storage, deployment tracking, free plans, model aliases, lineage and versioning, plus the listed starting price. MLflow Model Registry, ClearML and Comet lead the ranked entries, followed by options including Hopsworks AI Lakehouse, Deeploy and JFrog ML. The mix of capabilities can help you weigh how much process control you need against the storage and tracking features that fit your team’s workflow.
