I'm confused. Obsidian itself is free. You can choose to pay for their sync service if you need it, but there are alternatives for that that don't cost extra.

If you take notes for work or for a side project that makes money you have to pay.
I don't mind paying because it's worth it.
> Free for personal use. We don't charge based on features or usage. Only pay if you use Obsidian commercially.
But the FAQ does:
> What is considered commercial use?*
> Commercial use means using Obsidian for revenue-generating or work-related activities within a for‑profit organization that has two or more employees. Government departments and agencies are considered commercial use, unless registered as a non-profit organization. For all other purposes, you're welcome to use Obsidian for free. Learn more.
("Learn more" leads to subtle differences from the FAQ, eg. organisations with 2 or more people rather than employees, and "work-related activities that generate revenue", but the gist is the same)
