NuGet Gallery versus G2
Compare	NuGet Gallery	G2
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	.NET/C# developers	B2B software buyers shortlisting tools
Who it's not for	Anyone needing private or internal package hosting	Vendors without five-figure budgets
Privacy	Two CVEs against the Gallery itself (2024 input flaw, 2026 critical RCE), rising typosquatting pressure; the 2025 deletion incident was officially not a breach.^⁶	No public security page found; UpGuard reports no phishing; G2's own DPA references a past data breach.¹⁵
Support quality	FAQ, status page, GitHub issues; no paid support.	Trustpilot and BBB complaints about G2's service
Public sentiment	Users treat as indispensable .NET infrastructure, but the 2025 package-deletion incident and supply-chain chatter eroded some trust.^⁵	Buyers find G2 useful for breadth, but sentiment on G2's own service skews negative on Trustpilot and Redditors weigh it against Capterra and Trustpilot.
Biggest gotcha	Typosquatting and dependency-confusion attacks are rising; double-check exact package names before installing.^⁹	Vendor contracts are negotiated and opaque; budget five figures annually before committing.¹⁶
