Indie dev sells Obsidian Starter Kit as buy-once, free-updates-forever
dSebastien · x · 2026-10-14
Developer dSebastien explains his pricing philosophy: when he buys a tool, he wants to pay once and keep getting better versions, so that's how he sells his Obsidian Starter Kit — one-time purchase with all future updates included, and the upcoming v5 doesn't change that. A useful pricing-model reference for indie makers.
