Yes, Conda [0] is a package manager designed by Continuum Analytics (now Anaconda, Inc.) to support their Anaconda Distribution [1]. The distribution is free, and the Conda client is open source. However, Anaconda sells several enterprise products, including an on-premise Conda server ("Anaconda Repository").
In general, Conda does more package verification than pip, and the packages in the Anaconda distribution are more thoroughly vetted than PyPi. Conda-Forge [2] provides an escape hatch for less-vetted community code.
