Mera Work
Per-user subscription
Mera Work lists Rs 250/user/month ($3) billed annually and Rs 325/user/month ($4) billed monthly, with custom enterprise pricing above 1000 users. It is the cheaper product; the trade-off is no audio monitoring, no mute detection, and keystroke logging that some privacy policies will not allow.
Why Teams Switch to WorkInvigilator
Key advantages that make WorkInvigilator the better choice for businesses.
Audio Monitoring
WorkInvigilator records short audio clips and transcribes them with AI, so voice-based teams can be verified rather than assumed. Mera Work has no audio layer.
Mute Detection
WorkInvigilator flags when employees mute their microphones during work hours, which matters for call centers and support teams. Mera Work does not track microphone state.
No Keystroke Logging
WorkInvigilator measures typing and mouse activity as counts and never records what an employee types. Mera Work offers keystroke logging, which many teams cannot deploy under their privacy policy.
Ethical Consent Framework
Transparent employee consent with visible monitoring indicators. Employees know exactly what is tracked, which builds trust instead of just surveillance.
