Obsidyan vs Solve Intelligence
Both work in the browser. Solve Intelligence is built for patent professionals, while Obsidyan is built for inventors, startups and technical teams.
Last reviewed November 2026
Get startedSolve Intelligence
A browser-based editor for patent professionals, covering prior art harvesting, drafting and prosecution responses.
- Best for patent attorneys drafting and amending at volume.
- No public rate card. A third-party estimate puts it at about $775 per user per month.
Obsidyan
A browser workspace that takes you from invention interview to draft to filing checklist.
- Best if you aren't a patent professional and want guided help.
- Credit packs from $9.99, with no subscription or per-seat fee.
- REST API and built-in MCP server.
Where Obsidyan falls short
We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.
- There is no Microsoft Word add-in. You work in the browser and export your draft.
- Prior art results are AI-generated analysis, not a search of patent databases. Confirm every reference yourself in USPTO Patent Public Search or Espacenet.
- We're a new product and don't hold third-party security certifications yet.
Common questions
- Is Obsidyan a Solve Intelligence alternative?
- For inventors and startups, it can be. Patent attorneys drafting at volume will likely prefer a tool built for that work.
