## What the models said for it

- "the recommended container registry for a mid-sized B2B company would be JFrog Artifactory, as it is considered the best for enterprise artifact management" (Llama 4 Maverick, Artifact registries)
- "If you are supporting a diverse product portfolio, JFrog Artifactory is usually worth the investment for the governance capabilities alone." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Artifact registries)
- "JFrog Artifactory | Large enterprises needing broad format coverage + advanced security (Xray) | Complex pricing, consumption-based costs" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Artifact registries)
- "JFrog Artifactory (or its cloud-managed version, JFrog Cloud) is generally the strongest choice for a mid-market B2B company" (Grok 4.20, Artifact registries)

## And against it

- "Avoid JFrog for mid-market unless you specifically need its 60+ format support" (Kimi K2, Artifact registries)
- "Expensive compared to native cloud registries; typically overkill unless you manage complex, multi-language library dependencies" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Artifact registries)
- "JFrog Artifactory: starts at $20k/year for the on-prem Pro tier. Free tier ("OSS") is severely feature-limited." (Muse Glimmer 30B, Artifact registries)
- "Not a security risk, but widely reported as problematic for small teams and cost-sensitive projects." (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Artifact registries)
