Pegasystems made Pega Infinity 26 generally available on July 14, 2026, introducing a flat fee per resolved case that replaces token-based AI billing for enterprise AI agents across customer service, operations, and engagement workflows. The release lets enterprises design, orchestrate, and govern AI agents while keeping every AI-driven interaction inside defined business rules — a direct challenge to the consumption pricing that makes most enterprise AI costs unpredictable.
What is Pega Infinity 26?
Pega Infinity 26 is the July 2026 release of Pegasystems’ case-management and business process automation platform, built around what Pega calls its Predictable AI architecture. The platform orchestrates AI agents across three workflow domains — customer service, operations, and customer engagement — and governs each agent’s actions against the business rules and regulatory standards enterprises already enforce. Pega is a case-management and BPM platform with CRM capabilities, used mainly by regulated industries such as banking, insurance, and healthcare, not a first CRM for small businesses.
According to the official Pega press release published July 14, 2026, the platform ships MCP-compatible agent orchestration that runs Pega and third-party AI agents together, Pega Infinity Studio, and a new Customer Engagement Studio. Pegasystems trades on NASDAQ under the ticker PEGA. Infinity 26 deploys through Pega Cloud or a client’s own managed cloud.
How does the flat fee per case work?
The flat fee per resolved case charges enterprises a fixed price each time an AI-assisted workflow reaches a resolution, rather than metering every token an AI model consumes. Pega’s prior model billed AI usage on a consumption basis per token, which the company eliminated in Infinity 26. The pricing targets enterprises’ leading objection to AI adoption: token costs that scale unpredictably and complicate IT budget planning.
“Pega Infinity 26 clients [can] use as much AI as they need under a flat fee per resolved case — not per token,” Pegasystems stated in its official press release. The company added that “every AI-driven interaction adheres to business rules and regulatory standards while eliminating the unpredictability of expensive token-based pricing.”
Pegasystems has not disclosed the flat-fee dollar amount per case publicly. Buyers evaluating the model should request the per-case rate directly, since total cost depends on case volume rather than model usage.
What ships in Pega Infinity 26?
Pega Infinity 26 ships three named components that extend AI agents across the platform. Pega Infinity Studio is an AI-native development environment that includes Blueprint AI to apply implementation best practices during design. Pega Customer Engagement Studio is an agent-powered workspace that takes marketers from a campaign brief to a personalized one-to-one campaign, according to DestinationCRM’s coverage of the release. The MCP-compatible orchestration layer coordinates Pega-built and third-party AI agents within the same governance framework.

Why the pricing model matters for enterprise buyers
The flat-fee-per-case model addresses the top complaint enterprises raise about AI: consumption billing that makes deployment costs impossible to forecast. Most rivals still charge per call or per token, so predictable pricing gives Pega a distinct procurement argument for finance and IT teams sizing 2027 budgets. Businesses comparing platforms can review our guide to the best AI tools for business and our roundup of the best AI agents for business tasks to weigh Pega’s governance-first approach against consumption-priced alternatives.
Pega’s flat-fee model lands as enterprises rethink how they buy and run AI. See our coverage of enterprise AI adoption shifting from software clicks to agents for the broader shift Infinity 26 is responding to.
The flat-fee-per-resolved-case model is what enterprise buyers have been asking for, and it puts pressure on the whole market. Consumption billing works for vendors but transfers all the budget risk to the customer — exactly the friction that stalls enterprise AI rollouts. If Pega can prove predictable pricing without capping usable capability, expect Salesforce and ServiceNow to face hard questions about their own token-metered AI before the 2027 budget cycle closes.
