Copytrack chases down copyright claims after your image is already out there. Obsydian protects it before it leaves your hands.
Copytrack is a rights-enforcement platform: it monitors the web for unauthorized use of your images, then manages the copyright claim — retroactive licensing, settlement, or legal escalation — through its own case-resolution process. Monitoring up to 500 images is free; larger libraries need a custom subscription, and Copytrack takes a 45% commission on anything it recovers, no-win-no-fee.
We're biased — but honest.
Copytrack is a recovery tool, not a prevention one — it does nothing until after an image has already been used without permission. Obsydian sits earlier in the chain: watermarking and automatic EXIF/GPS scrubbing happen at the moment you post, so there's less to recover from in the first place, and what does leak is traceable. Neither replaces the other — Copytrack is built for chasing stock-photo and brand-image misuse at scale, while Obsydian is built for creators protecting what they post to their own audience.
