Zotero free for commercial use? (For-profit orgaisation)

rexcalypso · April 12, 2023

Hi all,

I would like to ask if zotero is free for commercial use for a for-profit orgaisation? If not, what are the licence costs for 2 ppl for example?

Is it also possible to use zotero without cloud connection only onprem? Are there different costs?

Thanks in advance and kind regards
Denise

Yes.

We offer individual and institutional storage plans for syncing additional files beyond the free limit.

Zotero can be used entirely locally. Syncing and collaboration requires Zotero servers unless you run your own dataserver, which is open-source but unsupported.
