Pricing
Institution-wide pricing. Not a per-seat bill that grows every year.

How this differs
Who it covers
Per-seat: 2,680 licensed seats
Merzal AI: All 2,680 on campus
Cost as you grow
Per-seat: Rises with every seat added
Merzal AI: Flat, per enrolled student
Where your data lives
Per-seat: The vendor's infrastructure
Merzal AI: Inside your campus network
If the contract ends
Per-seat: Access stops, nothing remains
Merzal AI: You keep the index and documents
On-premise deployment
The platform runs inside your network perimeter. Nothing leaves the campus, and the institution owns its index, documents and embeddings.
Comparison uses published list pricing and excludes education discounts, which vary by institution. No institution licenses AI campus-wide today — this models what matching Merzal AI's coverage would cost. Server sizing is scoped separately.
