Obsidian Eliminates Corporate Licenses, Now Free for Companies

Obsidian has canceled corporate licenses, allowing companies to avoid purchasing subscriptions for their employees. This decision was made to simplify the customer experience, as many were confused by the existing terms and conditions.

Previously, Obsidian required that any company using the tool for work tasks with more than two employees needed to obtain special corporate licenses, with a separate license required for each individual.

As of February 20, this requirement has been eliminated. Any company can use Obsidian for free, gaining access to all features of the tool without any restrictions or advertisements. If a company wishes to support the project, they can still opt for corporate licenses, but this will merely be a voluntary donation.

All businesses that have purchased more than 25 employee licenses will be featured on a dedicated page for Obsidian Enterprise. Currently, the top organizations with the highest number of corporate subscriptions include:

Over 10,000 subscriptions — Amazon;

Over 1,000 subscriptions — Google and CrowdStrike;

Over 500 subscriptions — Capital One, Shopify, Meta*, the UK government;

Over 200 subscriptions — ARM, Datev, PenTeleData, The Trade Desk, Naver, Shift Technology, Communication Security Establishment Canada;

Over 100 subscriptions — Adesso, Apple, Behavior Interactive, CVS, Datadog, G-Research, General Electric, Marshall Wace, Praetorian, SAP, Sick, Siemens, Stripe, Thales, Zoox.
