Appian quietly drops AI entitlement limits across 7 features
What happened
Between the May 11, 2026 and May 18, 2026 captures of Appian's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Footnote 3 (per-application entitlement scope) removed from 7 AI features in comparison table: AI Agents, Composer, DocCenter, AI Copilot for Developers, AI Copilot for Business Users, AI Skills with Generative AI, AI Skills with Intelligent Document Extraction. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction.
It lands 28 days after Appian's previous change, "Appian rebrands Agent Studio to AI Agents in feature comparison grid" (Apr 20, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Appian Lifts Data Fabric Row Caps, Adds CSS Profiles to Platform" (Apr 4, 2026). Appian has been tracked since 2023-12-02.
In the same window Microsoft and Salesforce also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
