In their own words

Conan

Conan is a free, open-source package manager for C and C++ projects. It manages dependencies and binary packages through Conan recipes, with dependency resolution, lockfiles, workspaces, private registry authentication and offline installation. Binary configurations can vary by architecture, compiler and version, runtime, and C++ standard library. If a matching binary is unavailable, Conan can build from source on demand. It supports Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, embedded and bare-metal targets, as well as desktop, server and mobile platforms. Build integrations include CMake, MSBuild, Makefiles, Meson and SCons; other integrations include Docker, MinGW, WSL and JFrog Artifactory. Teams can share and reuse native binaries. Artifactory Community Edition offers self-hosted private package hosting, with a WebUI, authentication and permissions. Conan is released under the MIT License. The listed plan describes the package manager as free and open source; no price is stated for either plan.

PyPI

PyPI is a repository for software written in Python, available through its website and APIs. It helps users find and install packages shared by the Python community, while package authors publish projects and releases. A release may include source archives and binary wheels for different hardware, operating systems, and formats. APIs include RSS feeds for new packages and releases. PyPI is maintained by the Python Software Foundation and the Python community. Accounts require two-factor authentication, and a verified email address is needed to register a project or upload a release file. Trusted Publishing uses OpenID Connect short-lived identity tokens, with PyPI API tokens valid for 15 minutes. Default limits are 100 MB per file and 10 GB per project. Organizations provide shared profiles, teams, permissions, trusted publishing, and history. Community organizations are free; Company organizations cost $5 a month.
