Pricing

Pricing that scales with your compliance needs.

merlon is priced by the depth of governance you need — not by nickel-and-diming features. Every plan includes encryption, the immutable audit trail, and a choice of US or Swiss data residency. We quote each customer directly so pricing reflects your size, region, and requirements — billed in USD, CHF, or EUR.

Always included

What's in every plan

Some things aren't a paid upgrade. The security foundation is the same whether you're a five-person team or a regulated enterprise.

AES-256 encryption

At rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+), on every plan and every vault.

Immutable audit trail

The hash-chained event log runs underneath everything you do.

Regional residency

Choose US or Swiss data residency — not an enterprise-only feature.

24/7 monitoring

Our Blue Team watches telemetry around the clock for all customers.

API & webhooks

Programmatic access to build on the platform is standard.

e-Signature

Identity-verified signing with an evidentiary trail, included.

How pricing works

From first call to a clear quote

There's no self-serve checkout because there's no one-size price. Here's how a typical engagement gets from an initial conversation to a signed agreement.

Tell us your setup

Share your team size, the documents you need to govern, your region, and any compliance obligations. A short call is usually enough.

Get a tailored quote

We match you to a plan and price it for your seats, residency, and add-ons — in USD, CHF, or EUR — typically within one business day.

Contract & onboard

Sign with the right entity for your region, review the DPA where applicable, and onboard with guided setup on Business and Enterprise.

No security tax

The core protections aren't behind a paywall

Some vendors reserve encryption strength, audit logging, or SSO for their most expensive tier — effectively charging extra to be secure. merlon doesn't. AES-256 encryption, the immutable audit trail, regional residency, and 24/7 monitoring are on every plan. Higher tiers add governance depth and support, not the baseline right to be protected.

Encryption included

AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, always.

Audit trail included

The hash-chained ledger runs on the Team plan too.

Residency included

Choose US or Swiss hosting on any plan.

Monitoring included

24/7 Blue Team telemetry for every customer.

The value

What a governed workspace replaces

merlon typically consolidates several point tools and a lot of manual effort. The savings show up in fewer subscriptions, faster contract cycles, and audits that take hours instead of days.

Billing questions

Pricing & billing FAQ

Why aren't prices listed on this page?
Because the right price depends on your size, region, residency, and which governance features you need. Rather than a misleading list price, we give you a clear quote for your situation — usually within one business day of talking to sales.
What currency will I be billed in?
It depends on your contracting entity. Americas customers contract with Wahlen Software Inc. and are billed in USD. EU/EFTA, Swiss, and rest-of-world customers contract with Wahlen Software GmbH and are billed in CHF or EUR.
Is there a monthly vs. annual toggle?
No. We keep it simple with a straightforward agreement rather than steering you between plan cadences. Contract terms are agreed as part of your quote.
Can I change plans as I grow?
Yes. Plans are designed to move up as your needs deepen — for example, adding SSO and workflows when you move from Team to Business, or custom residency and a DPA at Enterprise. Talk to your account contact to upgrade.
Do you offer a Data Processing Agreement?
Yes. A DPA is available on Business and Enterprise plans. You can review the standard terms in our DPA, and enterprise agreements can be tailored during contracting.
What support is included?
Team includes standard email support. Business adds priority support and the 99.9% uptime SLA. Enterprise adds 24/7 support and a dedicated Customer Success Manager. See support tiers for response-time targets by severity.
