Hiphops vs lazer.sh
Both stand on container registries. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Choose Hiphops if your team needs container distribution and software licensing for customer cloud, VPC, or on-premises environments. The Free plan may suit a small start, while teams needing more storage or licensed products should consider the paid plans; look elsewhere if the 5GB image-layer ceiling is unsuitable.

lazer.sh combines OCI compatibility with unlimited, unmetered pulls and project-level storage deduplication. Its private beta and invite-only signup are important constraints, and its stated pull availability target is not a contractual guarantee.
