The Open-Source Artifactory Alternative

Full-featured artifact management with no feature gates, no vendor lock-in, and no surprise bills. Security scanning, all 40+ package formats, and enterprise features—included free.

Why teams choose an open-source registry

Security scanning as a separate cost

Many commercial registries offer vulnerability scanning only as a paid add-on. With Artifact Keeper, Trivy and Grype scanning are included from day one at no extra cost.

Features split across pricing tiers

Replication, high availability, and advanced auth are often reserved for higher-priced plans. Artifact Keeper includes every feature in the open-source release.

Migration can be complex

Moving between artifact registries typically requires re-engineering CI/CD pipelines. Artifact Keeper includes built-in migration tooling to import repositories, artifacts, and permissions from existing registries.

Per-user pricing at scale

Per-seat licensing means costs grow with your team. Artifact Keeper is MIT licensed with no per-user fees, so you can scale your engineering team without scaling your registry bill.

We built Artifact Keeper because DevOps tooling shouldn’t have a paywall.

Everything included. No upgrade required.
