conda vs Julia Pkg
Both stand on package managers. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Choose Julia Pkg for managing Julia packages and project environments, especially when you need version records, private registries, or offline resolution. Its environment reproduction depends on the referenced repositories and registries remaining accessible, and package management is tied to Julia environments.
