# Container Registry (ACR) costs

> Compare Container Registry (ACR) backend choices using explicit service-adapter planning assumptions.

Tensor9 BYOC planning comparisons for `azure::1.0.0::container-registry`, with backend choices shown together. Read [how Tensor9 estimates service-adapter costs](/byoc/costs/overview.md) for price scope and capacity qualification, or return to [additional services](/byoc/costs/additional-services.md).

## Azure Container Registry image storage and transfer → Artifact Registry

Origin API: `azure::1.0.0::container-registry`. Target backend: `google::1.0.0::artifact-registry`.

**Designed mapping.** This cost model describes an intended adapter. Its estimated price does not establish a delivered or selectable backend.

Comparison pills describe all sampled scale points; card amounts show the named workload. Costs The Same means within 20% at every point. Costs Depend includes mixed results and unpriced samples.

Exact sampled model outputs in USD/month. Difference means target minus origin; a positive difference means the target costs more.

Comparison pills describe all sampled scale points; card amounts show the named workload. Costs The Same means within 20% at every point. Costs Depend includes mixed results and unpriced samples.

Exact sampled model outputs in USD/month. Difference means target minus origin; a positive difference means the target costs more.
