Pricing comparison
Ravenstash and Gemfury in real package-usage scenarios
Gemfury Team starts at $25/month with unlimited collaborators and ten private packages, making it a strong low-package-count option. Ravenstash Team starts at $34/month with three active members, unlimited repositories, and explicit 50 GB storage and 500 GB delivery allowances. Each estimate uses the same users, stored packages, and monthly package delivery for both products.

|---|---|---|
| Growing package set · 3 users · 50 private packages | $34 · Team with unlimited repositories | $100 · Team 50P |
| Established package set · 3 users · 125 private packages | $34 · Team with unlimited repositories | $200 · Team 125P |
| Large package set · 3 users · 300 private packages | $34 · Team with unlimited repositories | $450 · Team 300P |

What changes
URLs, sign-in, and CI credentials
- Gemfury package URLs move to Ravenstash package-manager endpoints.
- Package collaborators and shared credentials become Ravenstash organization members and API tokens.
- Repository organization can be redesigned around ownership or release boundaries, with multiple ecosystems enabled where useful.
Developer authentication
Sign in through the browser with rvs
Developers run rvs auth login, approve the sign-in in their browser, and use their Ravenstash repositories without copying a reusable token into local configuration. CI and release jobs use dedicated automation tokens that can be rotated or revoked independently.
