Obsidian is free for personal use. A Catalyst license is an optional license that provides the following benefits:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. It gives you early access to the latest, cutting edge versions of the app;
|
||
|
2. Provides you cool badges on our community Discord server and forum; and
|
||
|
3. It helps support the development of Obsidian (thank you 💜!)
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are three tiers of the Catalyst license: Insider ($25), Supporter ($50), and VIP ($100) - each of which gives you [[Insider builds|access to insider builds]].
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please note that Catalyst is optional and ==does not give you any additional app features==.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To upgrade to Catalyst, please visit [our pricing page](https://obsidian.md/pricing).
|
||
|
|

If you use Obsidian for work-related activities, you may need a [[Commercial license|commercial license]].

## FAQ
|
||
|
|
||
|
### How do I get my shiny badges after I upgrade?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Congratulations! After upgrading, you will find two buttons in the "Catalyst" section in your Account page.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Discord badge
|
||
|
|
||
|
==Please make sure to join [our Discord server](https://discord.gg/veuWUTm) first.==
|
||
|
|
||
|
In [your account page](https://obsidian.md/account), click on "Get Discord badge", which will authenticate with Discord and add the badge for you automatically.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Forum badge
|
||
|
|
||
|
==Please make sure you've registered an account at [our forum](https://forum.obsidian.md) with the same email address.==
|
||
|
|
||
|
In [your account page](https://obsidian.md/account), click on "Get forum badge" , which will add the badge to your forum account.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If your forum email doesn't match your account email, the badge can't be added. In that case, please change your email in the forum to be consistent with your account email.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please note that your forum badge is not a "badge" in the forum system, but a shiny gold tag right next to your name in all of your posts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### What do I get when I pay for Catalyst?
|
||
|
|
||
|
You get access to our [[Insider builds]]. On top of that, if you get Supporter or VIP tier, you can access an exclusive Discord channel to hang out with the developers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When we do closed beta for a big new feature (such as mobile apps or a Typora-like WYSIWYM mode), we will roll out the beta to VIPs, Supporters, Insiders, and then everyone else, fixing issues along the way.
|
||
|
|
||
