| Free tier | 'Starter is a free offering with a single registry and repository to let you try out DOCR.' Storage 500 MiB: table row 'Storage | 500 MiB | 5 GiB | 100 GiB'. Allowance is prorated by active days: 'If a Starter registry is active for 16 days in a month, it receives ~285 MiB of storage allowance'. unit GiB; metered on stored-bytes |

| Price | none stated |

| Identity | email (placeholder) not published |
|---|
| Egress | No egress charge is stated for DOCR anywhere on the pricing or limits page; DOCR is described as 'a private Docker image registry', so there is no public/anonymous pull path and no CDN-facing egress at all. |

| Per-object cap | not stated |

| Retention | not stated |

| Interface | oci oci |

| Tooling | doctl registry, docker. Private only — pulls require a DO API token. |
|---|
| Composes with | 1 registry, 1 repository, 500 MiB. Not worth chaining; a second account buys 500 MiB more. |
|---|
| Reliability | Starter's prorated storage means a fresh registry can be charged overage on a partial month; 500 MiB is below any useful dataset. |
