Free tier	3 GB per free personal account. Anaconda staff on the official forum: 'You'll hit a hard limit at 10 GB with the default storage settings. If you need a large amount of storage (>100GB), you'll need to contact sales.' Team plan is 50 GB. unit GB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Free and unmetered for public packages. CDN-fronted (Cloudflare). conda-forge serves multi-GB packages anonymously with no auth.
Identity	anonymous derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: e ceiling is the smallest of the registries and there is no anonymous-way around it. Multiply by free orgs/accounts: 3 GB personal, 10 GB default cap, 50 GB Team. Even chained aggressively
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	anaconda-client (`anaconda upload`, `anaconda copy`, `anaconda remove`); REST at api.anaconda.org; conda itself is the client for download. Public channel listing is anonymous JSON.
Composes with	Multiply by free orgs/accounts: 3 GB personal, 10 GB default cap, 50 GB Team. Even chained aggressively this is the smallest unit in the field — 10 TiB would need ~340 personal accounts at 3 GB. Not worth the operational cost against npm's 200 MB x unlimited.
Reliability	Hard-limit enforcement is a real upload block, not a warning, and Anaconda's own forum answer routes anyone above 10 GB to sales. Storage ceiling is the smallest of the registries and there is no anonymous-way around it.
Notes	3 GB per free personal account. Anaconda staff on the official forum: 'You'll hit a hard limit at 10 GB with the default storage settings. If you need a large amount of storage (>100GB), you'll need to contact sales.' Team plan is 50 GB.

date	source	what it proved
2026-10-21	forum.anaconda.com/t/anaconda-packages-storage-size-limits/9	'the personal storage limit is only 3GB'; staff reply: 'You'll hit a hard limit at 10 GB with the default storage settings. If you need a large amount of storage (>100GB), you'll need to contact sales'
2026-10-21	continuumio-docs.readthedocs-hosted.com/anacondaorg/faq/	'The free plan allows you to search for, create and host public packages, and provides up to 3 GB storage space'
2026-10-21	api.anaconda.org/package/conda-forge/numpy	probe: GET -> 200, 3,868 files, 25.6 GB total for one package name (shows the platform itself carries far more than the free-tier limit — the limit is per publisher account, not per package)
