Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

PE CRM pricing commonly cited around $2,500/full license/year on Reddit; expect sales-led negotiation.

medium

Seed-stage vendor: demand clear data-export terms before committing, to avoid lock-in.

medium

MCP server makes deal data accessible to Claude/ChatGPT; confirm data-handling terms with LP counsel.

low

Several unrelated 'Meridian' software vendors online; confirm you're demoing the right product.

What users say

Independent user reviews are essentially absent; available material is comparison-site descriptions plus one Reddit thread on PE CRM pricing generally.

“An annual fee and license fee per person - maybe $2,500 per full license per year, read-only is half of that? Has a desktop version and an app.”
Reddit, r/private_equity (on PE CRMs generally, not Meridian specifically)
