Obsidian, the note-taking app, has made a bold move by discontinuing the requirement for a Commercial license for organizational use. This means that the standard version of Obsidian is now freely available for use in any scenario, even for work purposes.
Operating on a Markdown-based note-taking method, Obsidian has garnered substantial popularity, with over 1 million downloads on the Play Store. The business model of Obsidian involves offering the client application for free and monetizing through premium features. For instance, synchronization across devices costs $4 per person per month, while publishing notes on the web incurs a charge of $8 per website per month.
Commercial licenses are still available for purchase at $50 per user per year, albeit no longer mandatory. The benefits include showcasing the organization’s name on Obsidian’s website, contributing to further app development.
TLDR: Obsidian has made its note-taking app free for work, with the option to purchase Commercial licenses for added support and benefits.
