How We Keep MeraGuru Completely Free

August 1, 2026

"Free" gets used loosely by a lot of apps - free to sign up, then paywalled the moment you want to do anything useful. MeraGuru doesn't work that way, and it's worth explaining why, rather than just asserting it.

The actual mechanism

Question generation, tutoring, and notes all run on AI - and AI API calls cost money per request if you pay for them the standard way. MeraGuru instead round-robins across multiple providers' free-tier API access, spreading requests across several genuinely free-tier AI providers instead of paying per request through a single paid one. That's the actual mechanism that makes "free" sustainable rather than a temporary launch promotion.

What that means for you, practically

No credit card is required to sign up. There's no paywalled "premium" question type, no chapter limit that unlocks with payment, no feature held back behind a subscription tier. Creating an account, generating question papers, using the AI Tutor, generating notes, and practicing are all fully available from the free account.

Is there a catch?

The honest answer: there's no hard usage cap enforced right now, since the platform is in a free period for everyone. If usage-based limits are ever introduced as the platform grows, the commitment is that existing free features remain free - not a bait-and-switch into a paywall.

The goal has always been the same one this whole platform started from: exam preparation shouldn't depend on how much a family can afford to spend on it.
