Packagecloud stores and distributes software packages through an automated service for teams managing software delivery. It supports npm, APT/Debian, Maven, Yum/RPM, RubyGems, and Python packages, and also lists Alpine, Helm, and Docker repositories. Teams can use a graphical interface, command-line tools, or an API, with access control and collaboration features. Listed integrations include CircleCI, Travis CI, Jenkins, Buildkite, GitHub Actions, Maven, Leiningen, Gradle, and SBT. Packagecloud is available in the cloud and on-premises, including behind a corporate firewall or inside a perimeter network. It says its websites and microservices use SSL/TLS encryption, and that it is SOC 2 compliant and meets HIPAA standards; audit and penetration-test reports are available to customers on request under a signed NDA. Plans include a free option with 10 GB bandwidth and 2 GB storage, and paid options from 89.00 USD per month. Paid plans have 14-day trials and may charge for bandwidth or storage overages; account holders can set a cap before account disablement.
