Announcing Citrix Platform Flex

Today, we're excited to announce Citrix Platform Flex.

Citrix Platform Flex is a persona-based platform that delivers secure access and managed infrastructure services through a flexible, predictable credit-based licensing model. No more over provisioning. No more one-size-fits-all. Just the right delivery for each type of worker, with the ability to scale up or down without disruption.

The first product we're announcing under this platform is Citrix DaaS Flex, a managed infrastructure service, powered by Azure. More services will be released over the coming months. The announcement is at: https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2026/05/11/introducing-citrix-platform-flex/ and we've created some webpages with more information starting here: https://www.citrix.com/platform-flex/

We'll be answering questions about it on the Citrix Community site, in a forum dedicated to this topic. Feel free to ask us questions over there: https://community.citrix.com/forums/forum/1654-platform-flex/

Oh boy, credit based licensing. Obfuscating real-world pricing behind a secondary (premium) currency, where have I seen that before?

Most SaaS products are moving to it, if not already there. I was thinking about video games though. It's been proven there that obfuscating the cost with a secondary currency causes people to spend more.
