Abstract: We prove that a locally finite variety has at most polynomially many (in $ k$) non-isomorphic $ k$-generated algebras if and only if it decomposes into a varietal product of an affine variety over a ring of finite representation type, and a sequence of strongly Abelian varieties equivalent to matrix powers of varieties of $ H$-sets, with constants, for various finite groups $ H$.
