If I use obsidian to take personal work notes, do I need a commercial license? Right now I use a giant append-only markdown file but I'm curious about the linking.
- Macha 4y agoThis is my use case and after reading the terms, I came to the conclusion that the answer is yes. It's an honor system setup though.
- elefantastisch 4y agoMy understanding is yes, and honestly, this was my biggest sticking point with Obsidian. I'm happy to pay for software. I pay for Dynalist pro (same team for anyone who didn't know), but the separate commercial license on top of paying for sync just felt like a lot. Especially with commercial use being defined so broadly. Fourteen days to trial just isn't enough to see whether it would be worth the cost to use for my own personal use at work. The Dynalist freemium model where I could use a smaller feature set for a longer time and then decide it was worth upgrading was just much easier. Erica, would you consider a discount on add-on services for commercial subscribers? A 25% discount would put the price a bit closer to Dynalist pro and make it feel like I was actually getting something for the commercial subscription other than just permission to use it for work. Or maybe a discount for existing Dynalist pro subscribers? I really love the work you all are doing, here and on Dynalist, just a bit hung up on the cost here.
- Aeolun 4y ago$50/year is not exactly onerous is it? I kind of agree that having to pay it on top of the sync fees feels off, but you could just as well sync with onedrive.
