Zuora Launches AI-Ready Monetization Catalog to Power Any Business Model, Even Faster

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., November 18, 2025 – Zuora, Inc., a leading monetization platform for modern business, today announced the Zuora Monetization Catalog to rapidly design, price, and launch new offers, without relying on IT or manual workarounds. Purpose-built for the age of AI, the Monetization Catalog enables companies to go to market faster, evolve how they sell, and unlock data-driven intelligence to meet the demand for dynamic, personalized offerings.

Businesses face growing pressure to monetize in new ways, from constantly adapting pricing (80% percent of consumers say they value flexibility in recurring services) to launching AI-driven offerings that introduce new complexity. Zuora’s Monetization Catalog helps businesses optimize and personalize pricing to meet customers where they are, while ensuring clean financial records and accelerating growth.

“Outdated systems too often hold teams back from product innovation,” said Shakir Karim, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Zuora. “To meet the AI moment, companies need to move faster, adapt instantly, and make smarter, data-driven decisions. With the right foundation – dynamic pricing, packaging, and buying experiences – they can align how they sell with how customers make purchasing decisions.”

Zuora’s Monetization Catalog delivers speed, agility, and intelligence through: 

  • Dynamic Pricing: Capture more revenue with pricing that adapts based on attributes such as customer type, region, and usage
  • Bundles: Combine products, matching each customer’s needs and business context to the right solution
  • Features & Entitlements: Define and track access to capabilities across plans, add-ons, and bundles – unlocking the ability to monetize at the feature level and upsell flexibly
  • Unified Logic Across Channels: Apply the same product rules across storefronts, CPQ, billing, and revenue, eliminating reconciliation
  • Usage-Based Pricing & Rating: Tiers, volume, overage, and prepaid/commit blocks with proper rating and revenue treatment, without custom code
  • AI-Ready by Design: Tag metadata for AI discoverability, and lay groundwork for future AI pricing optimization, all usable by LLMs and internal copilots

“Zuora’s dynamic pricing catalog is the groundwork the industry has been missing for decades,” said Wazma Emon, Managing Director, Head of Finance Transformation at Tradeweb. “Traditional billing systems were built around static fields and rigid logic, forcing us to maintain hundreds of custom fields just to model real-world deals. This new foundation changes that. It allows unlimited attributes of data to drive pricing, making it possible to design fee structures that grow with the market, protect against downturns, and adapt to each customer’s needs. As this platform matures, it has the potential to capture business complexity in a more flexible and scalable way, enabling firms to evolve their pricing strategies with greater ease and speed.”

“Companies are under increasing pressure to launch new pricing, packaging, and products faster than ever before. Customers have increasing power over how they want to buy. These two trends are forcing companies to invest in more agile solutions that deliver faster time to market without placing undue strain on finance and operations teams,” said Andrew Dailey, Co-Founder and Managing Director at MGI Research. 

By powering the full monetization process, Zuora connects how offers are designed and sold, to how they’re billed, paid, and recognized. To learn more about the Zuora Monetization Catalog, visit here.

Zuora Revenue Ranked No. 1 Overall in Automated Revenue Management by MGI Research, Leading in Product and Strategy

AI-based ARM solutions will become technically viable by 2027, but adoption will lag as finance leaders prioritize trust and transparency, predicts MGI

Redwood City, Calif. – Nov. 6, 2025 – Zuora, Inc., a leading monetization platform for modern business, today announced MGI Research (MGI) has ranked Zuora Revenue in first place overall, with the highest score across Product and Strategy, for Automated Revenue Management (ARM) in the MGI 360™ Ratings – The ARM Top 30: Buyer’s Guide. Zuora Revenue maintains a Positive Analyst Outlook from MGI, underscoring its continued leadership in helping enterprises automate and scale complex revenue operations.

MGI Research predicts AI-based ARM solutions will become technically viable by 2027, however, adoption will be hindered due to trust.  As enterprises introduce new pricing models, bundles, and AI-driven products, financial processes are becoming increasingly complex. Zuora Revenue, part of the Zuora Monetization Platform, enables finance teams to automatically recognize, reconcile, and analyze revenue using trusted data to close the books faster, simplify compliance, and adapt confidently in the age of AI.

In addition to leading overall, Zuora Revenue received top rankings from MGI across:

  • Product: MGI recognized Zuora Revenue as the leading choice for the enterprise
  • Strategy: Zuora Revenue was highlighted for its advancements and is seen as critical finance infrastructure for large and complex user organizations

“We’re honored to be recognized by MGI Research as companies double down on AI offerings and new monetization models that introduce greater complexity for revenue recognition,” said Pete Hirsch, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Zuora. “This underscores the essential role of Zuora’s platform in providing the AI-driven agility and end-to-end control required to manage sophisticated processes and ensure compliance at the speed of innovation.”

Zuora Revenue connects with Zuora Billing, Payments, and other ERP and CRM systems to unify the order-to-revenue process. The Zuora Monetization Platform empowers companies to launch and scale any mix of revenue models, automate GAAP and IFRS compliance, and gain real-time insight into recurring and usage-based revenue streams.

“Ask any CFO what keeps them up at night, and it isn’t missing the number. It’s not trusting the number,” said Andrew Dailey, Co-Founder and Managing Director at MGI Research. “In a world of complex revenue contracts, usage pricing, and instant investor reactions, businesses need to counter changing market conditions faster than ever and finance teams need to forecast with agility and precision while enhancing the trust and confidence in financial results.”

Zuora Modern Finance Leader Research Reveals Technology Gaps Limiting Strategic Impact and Business Model Innovation

Despite prioritizing AI, the new report shows finance and accounting leaders are still held back by manual, reactive work

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – July 15, 2025 – Zuora, Inc., a leading monetization platform for modern business, today released The Modern Finance Leader: How Technology Gaps Are Limiting Strategic Impact, new research from over 900 finance and accounting leaders. The report reveals how breakdowns in order-to-cash (O2C) processes and technology are impeding the strategic growth and efficiency of finance teams, particularly within Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies.

While the data shows that finance leaders are increasingly expected to be strategic advisors that drive business growth, they are too often constrained by manual, reactive work. Despite prioritizing AI in both technology investments and talent acquisition, finance teams are still bogged down by manual processes that AI was intended to eliminate. At the same time, mounting pressure to support complex transformations, such as shifting upmarket with sophisticated deal structures or experimenting with usage-based models, can create severe challenges. Identifying the right organizational structure and systems around O2C can help companies better respond at the speed business demands.

Along with new data across industries, the report zooms in on SaaS, often representing the epicenter of modern finance complexity. As early adopters of dynamic pricing models, usage-based billing, and hybrid revenue structures, SaaS companies stress-test traditional finance operations, making them a bellwether for broader industry challenges.

Key findings of Zuora’s 2025 Modern Finance Leader report include: 

  • Finance and accounting leaders are expected to be strategic advisors – but lack the tools to deliver: 89% of finance and accounting leaders (88% in SaaS) say they’re increasingly expected to act as strategic advisors, but 70% (and 92% in SaaS) say their current tech stack is hindering them from playing that role. In SaaS, 100% say manual data issues and reconciliation work are preventing strategic focus, with 42% saying it happens “often.”
  • AI is a strategic priority in both technology and skillsets – but its impact has yet to fully materialize: Nearly all (93%) of finance leaders prioritize AI capabilities in technology investments, and 61% of SaaS leaders say AI fluency is a “very important” hiring consideration. 
  • Even with AI, manual tasks are still overwhelming teams, especially in SaaS: 79% of finance leaders say their teams are swamped with manual work, with 88% citing reconciliation as a blocker to strategic focus. In SaaS, this problem is more acute: 97% say they are bogged down by manual tasks.
  • Lack of finance O2C system ownership puts growth, speed, and controls at risk: 82% of leaders say IT lags in system updates, and 82% of SaaS leaders say fragmented O2C ownership causes major operational challenges. Only 56% of SaaS companies have a dedicated finance systems team within the finance department – and in many cases, that team is owned by IT.
  • Legacy finance systems are holding back pricing and revenue model experimentation: 74% of finance and accounting leaders say their current systems can’t support the complex pricing structures needed to stay competitive. In SaaS, 97% say their tech falls short, with 86% calling the lack of system adaptability a frequent issue. Additionally, 82% of SaaS leaders struggle with complexity due to hybrid revenue models, and 95% say usage pricing makes revenue forecasting more difficult.

“The most innovative companies are rethinking order-to-cash, and CFOs can no longer take a backseat,” said Todd McElhatton, Chief Operating and Financial Officer at Zuora. “Without clear ownership of this process, finance teams are too often held back, unable to experiment with pricing changes or launch new offerings as rapidly as the market demands. The right systems and a strong partnership with IT will enable CFOs to drive a more strategic organization, ultimately capturing new growth.”

Zuora commissioned an independent market research firm to survey over 900 senior finance leaders, including CFOs, CAOs, Controllers, and VPs of Finance and Accounting across North America, the United Kingdom, and France to analyze the current state of finance operations across industries.

Introducing Zuora Collections: AI-Powered Automation to Accelerate Cash Flow Through Stronger Customer Relationships

Zuora transforms the order-to-cash process by uniquely combining billing, revenue, and collections data

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 20, 2025 – Zuora, Inc, a leading monetization platform for modern business, today introduced Zuora Collections, leveraging AI to embed collections into the full customer lifecycle and accelerate cash flow. Zuora now uniquely combines billing, revenue, and collections data to collect cash faster while improving retention, cash forecasting, and customer account health. 

As companies launch and adapt innovative business models to meet shifting customer demands, every touchpoint, even collections, needs to strengthen customer relationships. At the same time, finance teams are under constant pressure to manage working capital, reduce days sales outstanding (DSO), and ensure predictable cash flow. Yet too often, businesses treat collections as one-off invoices that are disconnected from the customer journey, putting retention and future revenue at risk. 

By incorporating collections into the full customer lifecycle, Zuora Collections provides finance teams with a complete view of payment behavior, account health, and commercial context, all alongside billing and revenue data. AI-powered workflows and predictive insights help teams forecast collections outcomes and prioritize efforts, such as identifying high-risk accounts.

“Companies can’t afford to overlook the strategic advantage cash provides in today’s economic environment,” said Nikki Wong, Vice President, Product Management at Zuora. “Every interaction, including collections, impacts the customer experience and long-term value of the relationship. Zuora is helping finance and accounting teams make this shift, transforming the order-to-cash process by making collections truly customer-centric.” 

Key features of Zuora Collections include: 

  • AI-Generated Insights: Segment and prioritize accounts with health scores built on historical payment behavior, engagement patterns, and risk indicators
  • AI-Powered Forecasting: Predict expected cash inflows using AI trained on historical collections data, delivering greater confidence in month-end outcomes and forward-looking cash flow
  • Contextual Collections Workflows: Automate outreach based on customer behavior, account risk, and billing history to improve efficiency and expedite payments 
  • Collector Dashboard: Provide a complete view of overdue accounts, payment status, and risk signals in a single, centralized dashboard
  • CRM and Communication Platform Integrations: Coordinate collections tasks across teams and prompt sales teams to follow when it matters most 
  • Task Management: Assign and track collections actions within a structured workflow for improved efficiency 

“How you collect has a direct impact on your customer relationships and, in the end, what you collect,” said Matt Dobson, Chief Accounting Officer at Zuora. “We’ve seen the benefits firsthand on our own team – Zuora Collections immediately helped us collect faster with a comprehensive view of customer payments. Instead of treating collections as a standalone function, Zuora Collections aligns the full process alongside billing and revenue on one platform.”

“At Vimeo, we’re constantly seeking solutions that drive operational excellence and enhance the overall customer experience,” said Gillian Munson, Chief Financial Officer at Vimeo. “Leveraging the power of AI, Zuora Collections demonstrates a deep understanding of the evolving needs of subscription businesses. This development not only strengthens our financial operations, but also reinforces our confidence in Zuora as a long-term, strategic partner committed to supporting our ambitious growth trajectory.”

Zuora Subscription Economy Index Continues to Outperform S&P 500: Flexible Revenue Models That Evolve With Market Conditions and Consumer Expectations Thrive

New data from 600+ companies and 3,000+ consumers indicates ongoing demand amidst economic uncertainty

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 15, 2025 – Zuora, Inc., a leading monetization platform for modern business, today released the latest Subscription Economy Index™ (SEI) report, which found that, over the last two years, companies in the SEI have experienced an 11% faster revenue growth rate compared to the broader economy (represented by the S&P 500). In addition to data from more than 600 companies, Zuora® commissioned The Harris Poll to include new data from over 3,000 U.S. adults, which revealed 68% of consumers subscribed to a new service for the first time in 2024. 

The Subscription Economy® has fundamentally transformed how the world consumes products and services. But the report highlights that long-term success hinges on nuanced and hybrid monetization approaches that go beyond a single subscription revenue stream to flex with changing market conditions and customer expectations. Finance leaders are at the forefront of this evolution, with increasing responsibility to introduce new, sustainable revenue models without breaking the ability to forecast accurately. 

This year’s SEI report also introduces the Product Portfolio Balance Score (PPBS), which looks at the diversity of products and services available and how often those offers are sold to customers. A higher PPBS reflects an optimized product catalog that increases Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA).

In the latest SEI report, The Subscribed Institute at Zuora found: 

  • Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, subscriptions continue to attract new users and provide value: Companies in the SEI experienced a 25% increase in unique subscribers over the past two years, and 84% of consumers say they’ve continued to receive the same (50%) or even greater (34%) value from subscription services over the past year.
  • Subscription cancellations are primarily driven by price increases: Among consumers who canceled a subscription in 2024, the most common reason was price increases, which nearly half (47%) of those who canceled cited. 
  • There is an opportunity to rethink Generation AI (GenAI) monetization, as consumers are still resistant to pay extra for these services: Although consumers are increasingly using GenAI services (40% said they used these services in January 2025 compared to in 28% in May 2024), 64% of consumers said they are still not willing to pay extra for these services.
  • Resilience and growth come from a mix of revenue models: Companies in the SEI that employed multiple revenue models grew faster than their peers, with higher ARPA growth and reduced churn. Companies with 4+ revenue models achieved 2.3% faster ARPA growth than those with 2-3 models and 4.5% faster ARPA growth than those with only 1.
  • Increasing growth requires tailoring and balancing the product portfolio: As SEI companies focus on more customer-centric strategies, they’ve improved portfolio alignment with subscriber purchasing preferences, driving a 118% increase in PPBS over the last four years. Moreover, businesses that adopted hybrid approaches, combining a dynamic mix of revenue models, achieved higher ARPA growth.

“This year’s SEI report highlights just how far the Subscription Economy has evolved—and how much opportunity still lies ahead,” said Amy Konary, Senior Vice President and Founder of The Subscribed Institute at Zuora. “Companies that blend recurring revenue models with smart monetization strategies consistently outperform the market. But the playbook is changing. Success today requires more than just launching new revenue streams—it’s about thoughtfully packaging value in ways that resonate with your customers. Finance leaders are positioned to lead this shift, driving innovation and resilience through smarter portfolio balancing and greater monetization flexibility.”

Zuora’s SEI report analyzes the growth and resilience of businesses leveraging various monetization models designed to provide recurring growth. Comprised of anonymized, aggregated, system-generated activity on the Zuora Billing service along with publicly available data from 17 selected subscription-based companies, the SEI measures the change in the volume of business for more than 600 companies. This year’s report also includes consumer data, which is a result of a Zuora-commissioned survey conducted by The Harris Poll of 3,087 adults in the United States.
