Everything lazer.sh does, next to everyone else.
Feature by feature against the registries you are most likely to be using today, on the things that actually show up on your bill and in your CI.
| lazer.sh | Amazon ECR | Artifact Registry | Docker Hub | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Cost | ||||
Charge to pull an image out Internet egress, not same-region traffic | Free | $0.09/GB† | $0.12/GB† | Free |
Storage | $0.05/GB/month* | $0.10/GB/month | $0.10/GB/month | Bundled per seat |
How you are billed | Flat plan price | Metered usage | Metered usage | Per user, per month |
Free tier | 5 GB, unmetered pulls | 500 MB for 12 months | 0.5 GB storage | 1 private repository |
Access control | ||||
Scope a credential to one repository | ||||
Set it up without writing a policy document Both clouds scope through an IAM binding rather than the credential | ||||
Set your own expiry date on a credential ECR pull tokens expire after 12 hours, but the IAM identity behind them does not | ||||
Storage hygiene | ||||
Automatic cleanup of untagged images | Retention rule | Lifecycle policy | Cleanup policy | |
Set it up in the UI rather than JSON | ||||
Repository total includes untagged images So the number on the repository explains the number on the bill | ||||
Platform | ||||
Works with any OCI client docker, podman, crane, skopeo, containerd | ||||
Global edge for pulls | ||||
* Effective rate on the Pro plan — $24.99 a month for 500 GB. lazer.sh bills a flat price rather than per gigabyte, so the rate falls as you fill the plan and rises if you leave it empty. Hobby lands at the same $0.05/GB — $4.99 a month for 100 GB — and the Free plan gives you 5 GB at no cost.
† AWS includes 100 GB of internet data transfer free each month across the whole account, so the rate applies above that. Artifact Registry's figure is Premium-tier internet egress from North America or Europe; Google's rate varies by region and falls at higher volume. Pulls to services inside the same cloud region are free on both.
