Where Ravenstash fits
Ravenstash fits teams that want hosted private PyPI, npm, and Maven repositories with fewer moving parts and native package-manager workflows.
Comparison and migration guide
Ravenstash vs JFrog Artifactory
Artifactory is a powerful universal artifact platform. Ravenstash is a lighter hosted path when the job is private Python, JavaScript, and JVM packages.

Where JFrog Artifactory fits
JFrog Artifactory is a strong fit for large organizations that need a broad universal artifact platform, advanced enterprise governance, and many package formats.
Pricing comparison
Ravenstash and JFrog Artifactory in real package-usage scenarios
JFrog Pro lists a $150 monthly price and meters storage plus transfer as one consumption pool after 25 GB. Ravenstash Team is deliberately narrower at $34/month, with separate 50 GB storage and 500 GB monthly delivery allowances so repeat CI installs do not consume the same small pool as stored packages. Each estimate uses the same users, stored packages, and monthly package delivery for both products.
| Usage scenario | Ravenstash monthly | JFrog Artifactory monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Small Product Team · 3 users · 50 GB stored · 1 TB delivered | $59 · Team with delivery overage | About $1,431 · Pro with consumption |
| CI-Heavy Product Squad · 10 users · 100 GB stored · 1.5 TB delivered | $113 · Team with usage | About $2,020 · Pro with consumption |
| Delivery-Heavy Scaling Org · 20 users · 500 GB stored · 5 TB delivered | $280 · Business with members | About $5,051 · Pro with consumption |
Why teams switch
Why teams choose Ravenstash over JFrog Artifactory
Teams that do not need a universal artifact platform and want managed private package repositories for Python, Node, and JVM work.
They are paying for a platform built for many artifact types when they mainly need private PyPI, npm, and Maven.
They want a hosted registry that developers can understand quickly without platform administration overhead.
They want package usage, storage, tokens, and remote cache & proxy visibility centered in one simpler product.

What changes
URLs, sign-in, and CI credentials
- Repository paths and package-client URLs move from Artifactory to Ravenstash.
- Complex repository layouts can be simplified into organization-owned Ravenstash repositories.
- Vulnerability findings and package policies move into Ravenstash alongside repository configuration.
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.
Migration path
How to move from JFrog Artifactory
Start with one package ecosystem, validate publish and install paths, then repeat the same process for the remaining repositories.
