As written above, Anaconda, Miniconda, and the main/anaconda channels are not free for commercial organizations with over 200 or more people. However, almost all other channels including conda-forge do not have this constraint.

However, conda-forge maintains its own installation of Miniconda, named Miniforge3. This contains mamba and conda-libmamba-solver as default, and is functionally equal except for only containing the conda-forge channel.
