NuGet Gallery versus JFrog
Compare	NuGet Gallery	JFrog
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	.NET/C# developers	Mid-to-large engineering orgs
Who it's not for	Anyone needing private or internal package hosting	Solo devs and tiny teams . pure overkill
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	Patch-sensitive: two 2026 Artifactory auth-bypass CVEs, one CVSS 9.8 reportedly exploited in the wild.
Support quality	FAQ, status page, GitHub issues; no paid support.	No support-quality evidence found
Public sentiment	Users treat as indispensable .NET infrastructure, but the 2025 package-deletion incident and supply-chain chatter eroded some trust.^⁵	Users praise JFrog's scale and centralized artifact management while complaining about pricing and add-on value.¹¹
Biggest gotcha	Typosquatting and dependency-confusion attacks are rising; double-check exact package names before installing.^⁹	Pricing is not public; users report hard negotiations and sudden pricing-model changes
