Anaconda plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| Starter | $15/month | 4 | +$15/month, 4 more features |
| Business | $50/month | 5 | +$35/month, 5 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Anaconda in for machine learning, data analysis, model training, predictive analytics. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Anaconda are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Machine Learning & Data Science
Too few machine learning & data science tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anaconda (this page) | Free, then $15/month | - | - | |
| Comet ML | Free | freemium | - | vs Anaconda |
| BentoML | Free | freemium | - | vs Anaconda |
| Azure Machine Learning | Free | usage-based | - | vs Anaconda |
| BigQuery ML | Free | usage-based | - | vs Anaconda |
| Alteryx | Free | subscription | - | vs Anaconda |
| AWS SageMaker | Free, then $0.04/hour | - | - | vs Anaconda |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Anaconda badges page.
Before you pay for Anaconda
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $50/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Anaconda runs on windows, macos, linux, web/cloud, and is published by Anaconda, Inc. of Austin, Texas. The full record is on the Anaconda review, and the rest of the category is under best machine learning & data science tools.

It costs $50/month against $15/month for Starter. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- Which machine learning & data science tools can I use without paying?
- 7 of the 7 machine learning & data science tools listed alongside Anaconda have a free tier: Comet ML, BentoML, Azure Machine Learning, BigQuery ML, Alteryx.
- What am I actually paying for with Anaconda?
- The record lists 12 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for machine learning, data analysis, model training.
- Does Anaconda charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

- What should I compare Anaconda against before paying?
- The closest machine learning & data science tools in this directory are Comet ML, BentoML, Azure Machine Learning, BigQuery ML. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Anaconda covering price, platforms and features.
