What the product covers
The full Manjaro feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Graphical installer
- Delayed updates
- Hardware detection
- Multiple desktops
People bring Manjaro in for wanting arch and the aur without the manual install, desktops needing current package versions with some stability buffer, hardware that benefits from automatic proprietary driver handling. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Manjaro are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Too few operating systems 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.

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 Manjaro badges page.
Before you pay for Manjaro
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: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Manjaro runs on linux, desktop, and is published by Manjaro GmbH of Germany. The full record is on the Manjaro review, and the rest of the category is under best operating systems tools.
