The short version

  • Only Anaconda has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Anaconda dependency resolution slower than pip due to SAT solver complexity; TradeGecko the vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 2019 listed a Lite plan at $79 per month billed annually (or $99 billed monthly) including 2 users, 1 sales channel integration, and 300 sales orders per month, with additional users at $50 per user per month, additional sales channels at $50 per channel per month, and additional orders at $10 per package of 100; a lower tier included 150 sales orders per month with overage at $20 per package of 100 orders; TradeGecko was later acquired and its cloud service was shut down in 2020 with customers migrated to Intuit's QuickBooks Commerce
  • They diverge on capability: Anaconda covers Conda package manager, TradeGecko covers Inventory management.
