Our verdict on Private Packagist

Private Packagist is a hosted and self-hosted repository service for organizations managing PHP Composer packages. It supports private package hosting, Packagist.org and third-party repository mirroring, and connections to Git, Mercurial, and Subversion sources. Teams can control access for developers, CI systems, and customers through team and per-package permissions, while authentication tokens support users and CI or deployment systems. Its web, Linux, and API availability suits teams that need a dedicated package-management layer around Composer projects.

The published plans show a Cloud base tier at €54.08 per month or €649 per year, with the first three users and three suborganizations included. Additional cloud users cost €15.58 per user per month or €187 per user per year. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Self-hosted options are listed separately: Self-Hosted Kubernetes, Helm Chart costs €3,900 per year, while Self-Hosted Kubernetes, Kots costs €5,900 per year. Both include unlimited private and open-source packages, unlimited mirrored third-party repositories, and unlimited Composer repositories; the Kots option specifies Kubernetes deployment, while the Helm Chart option is installed in the customer’s own Kubernetes cluster.

Its strongest fit is for teams that need more than package storage. Vulnerability monitoring and notifications, license review, usage statistics and graphs, artifact uploads containing composer.json, and webhooks add operational and supply-chain controls. Synchronization with GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, GitLab Self-Managed, Bitbucket, Bitbucket Server, and AWS CodeCommit supports varied source-control environments, while Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations can extend notifications. Choose Private Packagist when Composer is central and private access, upstream mirroring, and governance matter. Teams seeking a free registry or a package service centered on multiple language ecosystems should consider a different direction.

I've used Private Packagist myself and this is my honest opinion — nobody paid or asked me to write it.
