Zuora Recognized as a Leader in 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Recurring Billing Applications, Placed Highest in Ability to Execute

FOSTER CITY, Calif., August 17, 2026 – Zuora Inc., the leading monetization platform and system of record for quote-to-cash, has once again been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Recurring Billing Applications. The evaluation was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company’s overall Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. Within the report, Zuora was placed highest in Ability to Execute. 

As AI transforms monetization with constant change and additional complexity, companies need a flexible platform to capitalize on new opportunities. Zuora brings nearly two decades of  monetization expertise to that shift, built to support any mix of pricing models and adapt as market demands change.

“Creating and supporting sustainable revenue for AI offerings is often proving to be more challenging than building them,” said Erika Trautman, Chief Product Officer at Zuora. “We believe this recognition as a Leader by Gartner reflects what that actually requires: metering usage events at enormous volumes while running subscriptions, consumption, credits, and commitments, side by side, without breaking the close. In our opinion, very few systems do that at scale, and that’s why companies choose Zuora.”

Zuora’s monetization platform allows customers to:

  • Monetize AI From Pricing to Revenue: Zuora’s AI Monetization Suite helps companies model AI pricing, launch new offers, and connect usage, billing, and revenue recognition on one connected foundation, tailored to rapidly evolving business models.
  • Supercharge Finance Productivity: Zuora AI puts agents to work directly inside quote-to-cash, from billing and revenue to collections and reporting, so finance teams move faster inside the systems they already trust.
  • Unify Quote-to-Cash: Replace disconnected systems with clean handoffs and close-ready data, end to end.
  • Experiment with Flexible, Intelligent Pricing: Create flexible pricing and packaging, tailor by segment, and test new pricing models, including AI usage, credits, and commitments, without engineering dependencies.
  • Manage the Entire Customer Lifecycle: Seamlessly orchestrate upgrades, renewals, payments, and lifecycle changes across markets and around the globe.
  • Automate Revenue Recognition: Close the books faster, handle contract changes, simplify audits, and drive GAAP reporting and disclosures.
  • Go Live in Weeks: With Milo, Zuora’s implementation agent, companies can go live in weeks with up to 80% fewer resources.
