NHN Dooray

What NHN Dooray does

NHN Dooray Corporation (엔에이치엔 두레이 주식회사) is a Korean software subsidiary of KOSDAQ-listed NHN Group, headquartered in Seongnam-si, that develops and sells Dooray!, an integrated cloud-based collaboration SaaS. The platform bundles twelve purpose-built modules covering project management, business messaging, email, video conferencing, cloud drive with real-time co-editing, wiki, calendar, contacts, approval workflow, internal board, resource reservation, and survey forms. It is hosted on NHN Cloud IaaS and carries nine international security certifications (ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018, 27701, 29100, 27799, ISMS-P, CSAP, CSA STAR). Customer deployments span Korean central government ministries, financial institutions, large private enterprises (e.g. Megastudy Education at roughly 4,000 users), and public institutions including universities.

The product line is organized around tiered subscriptions: a Free plan (organizations with up to 25 users), Basic at ₩2,500 per user per month, Business at ₩5,000 per user per month, and Enterprise at ₩20,000 per user per month (minimum 16 seats), with first-year 50% discounts on Basic and Business for organizations with 50 or fewer users. Dooray! AI is sold as a paid add-on on top of the Business plan, with Lite at ₩15,000 per license per month and Premium at ₩250,000 per license per month. The Premium tier includes an AI Studio that allows up to five custom chatbots per license on top of wiki content, with Project AI+ (an AI project manager) slated for H1 2026. Distribution blends self-serve sign-up for SMB with direct enterprise and government sales, partner reseller channels, mobile app store presence, and marketing across Naver/Google SEO, social ads, and YouTube webinars. Strategic customer-wins include Megastudy Education replacing legacy in-house groupware and an ongoing bid for the Korean pan-government intelligent work management platform, alongside 16 billion won in collaboration tool budget already secured from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

NHN Dooray monetizes primarily through subscription recurring revenue per user per month (annual billing with monthly add-on availability at a 20% premium), supplemented by fees for add-ons such as Archive, Mail Security, Hancom joint editing, and Dooray! AI. Within NHN Group, Dooray! contributes to the technology and cloud segment, which reported 125.7 billion won in Q1 2026 (+19% year-on-year). The collaboration tools subline grew roughly 50% on average annually from 2023 to 2025 in the Korean public sector, supported by regulatory tailwinds including the FSC's first-ever Innovative Financial Services designation for a Korean collaboration SaaS product.
