We are not publishing a free-tier verdict for either Amazon ECR Public or Container Registry Service. The page we cite for Amazon ECR Public names the platform it runs on and not Amazon ECR Public itself when we last looked, on 2026-10-21. The page we cite for Container Registry Service states no amount, tier or rate we can read when we last looked, on 2026-10-14. We are not comparing the two pricing histories.
A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. A badge carrying a date states the record it rests on; a badge with no date rests on no record in force.

Amazon ECR Public
increaseddiscovered 2026-08-28 · effective date unknownlow impact
The free tier for public repositories is now 50 GB/month, up from 500 MB/month. The anonymous data transfer limit is 500 GB/month, and with an AWS account, it's 5 TB/month. Unconfirmed. We could not check this change against an archived copy of Amazon ECR Public's page, so it does not count toward the rating.Source ↗
