Perusall has no investors, no ads, and we never sell your data. Instead, the service is supported by our users, and we are committed to keeping the platform affordable for students. Many institutions choose to purchase institution-wide licenses, and many instructors choose to adopt books from the Perusall catalog; both of these support the continued development and improvement of the platform.
For instructors who assign free materials through Perusall at institutions without a license in place, we offer the Course Choice option. Instructors are asked to assign a platform fee for students to access their Perusall course. Alternatively, institutions, departments, and instructors may purchase bulk access for students. For bulk purchases of codes, please contact orders@perusall.com.
As the example below shows, during the Perusall course setup (Course Home > Get started > Step 4: Student cost), Instructors will be prompted to choose a platform access fee:
Students won't have to purchase access until 14 days after the start of the course, and can purchase either online using a credit card or through your university bookstore (including as part of an inclusive or equitable access program).
Students that purchased access for another Perusall course within the last 5 months won't be asked to pay again.
Instructors who choose $0 as their platform fee will see the screen below. To support and sustain Perusall, we encourage you to take action on one or more of the items listed. Advocating for a license at your institution, adopting a book through our catalog, connecting with a colleague or simply spreading the word of your success with Perusall at a department meeting allow us to continue developing and improving the platform.
