Anaconda itself was completely free, even for commercial use, until April 2020. Since then, you need to buy a commercial license if you make commercial use of their repositories at https://repo.anaconda.com or the anaconda channel on https://anaconda.org. The term commercial focuses on larger companies requiring more bandwith than a single OSS developer or scientist.

Read more about the details in the new Terms of Service or the Anaconda Commercial Edition FAQ.
