Incremental GitHub Packages usage on an existing GitHub Team subscription: 2 GB storage and 10 GB transfer included, then $0.25/GB-month and $0.50/GB. GitHub seat fees are excluded. Downloads here are private npm or Maven packages outside GitHub Actions; free Actions transfer and free Container registry usage are outside this comparison.
Illustrative workloads with the same users, stored bytes, and monthly downloads on both sides. Users and storage remain constant for the full cycle; downloads are complete package-file or blob responses. USD before tax; Ravenstash uses monthly billing and managed storage. GB and TB are decimal; GiB-priced services use the equivalent bytes. Prices cover the named plans and usage, without optional add-ons or negotiated discounts.

Ready to try Ravenstash?
Start with one repository and compare the complete workflow.
Developers run rvs auth login, approve the sign-in in their browser, and use their Ravenstash repositories without copying a reusable token into local configuration. CI and release jobs use dedicated automation tokens that can be rotated or revoked independently.
Start with one package ecosystem, validate publish and install paths, then repeat the same process for the remaining repositories.
