Anaconda offers a distribution of Python and R programming languages that includes a curated set of open source data science packages for scientific and academic applications. The Anaconda distribution includes a package manager called Conda, and is presently offered in four tiers: Free, Starter, Business, and Enterprise. About 40 million people use the Anaconda distribution, according to the company.

In April 2020, Anaconda introduced a fee for “heavy commercial use,” and in October that year clarified that term to mean organizations with more than 200 employees. “Anaconda will always offer a free version for academics, hobbyists, non-profits, and small businesses,” the developer said that month.
