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.

Tired of paying enterprise prices for basic features?

Artifactory charges extra for security scanning

Xray vulnerability scanning is a paid add-on starting at $750/month. Basic security shouldn't cost extra when it's critical for every deployment pipeline.

Feature-gated tiers that force upgrades

Need replication? That's Enterprise. Want access federation? Enterprise+. JFrog locks essential features behind tiers designed to push you into higher-priced plans.

Vendor lock-in with no easy migration path

Proprietary storage formats and APIs make it painful to move away. Once your CI/CD is wired to Artifactory, leaving feels nearly impossible without major re-engineering.

Per-user pricing that punishes growth

As your team scales, so does your bill. Per-seat licensing means every new developer, contractor, or CI bot adds cost—penalizing you for growing your engineering team.

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

Everything included. No upgrade required.
