## Cloudsmith vs AWS CodeArtifact. Which one is right for your team?

| With AWS CodeArtifact | With Cloudsmith |

| --- | --- |

| Unpredictable pricing. AWS CodeArtifact makes the job of managing your AWS bill even more difficult, with complex pricing based on storage, download requests, data transfer between regions etc. | Cloudsmith offers completely predictable pricing. We have plans to suit teams of all sizes. If you exceed your plan's storage, you'll pay a pre-agreed rate per MB. That's it. |

| Limited package format support. AWS CodeArtifact is really only designed to handle NPM, Python, Maven and Nuget natively. Everything else is treated as a generic artifact, meaning you'll have to re-think your tooling | Cloudsmith supports 29+ package formats natively, with more coming on-stream each month. And yes, we also support raw binary assets too. |

| No security scanning, unless you implement it yourself | Hourly updates to the Cloudsmith CVE database means by the time your packages reach production, they’ve been scanned repeatedly for very newest exposures, plus well-known vulnerabilities |

| Challenging to get the attention and support you need | Friendly support directly from the engineers who build Cloudsmith (not middle management), and additional support when you need it most |
