Avatier launches AI-native identity platform with pay-per-outcome pricing

Avatier on Aug. 4 unveiled Identity Anywhere 2027 at Ai4 in Las Vegas, pitching an AI-native identity platform built on the Model Context Protocol and sold on a pay-for-completed-outcomes basis. The company says the model is designed to cut upfront licensing costs, preserve existing identity investments and add audit evidence for human, machine and AI-agent actions.

Why it matters: - Avatier is trying to reset both the technology model and the pricing model for enterprise identity. - The company is targeting a market that MarketsandMarkets projects will grow from $25.96 billion in 2025 to $42.61 billion by 2030. - The pitch is simple: customers pay for verified identity work, not for users, modules or services before value is proven. - That could reduce upfront friction for buyers that want AI-driven identity tools without replacing existing systems.

What happened: - Avatier announced Avatier Identity Anywhere 2027™ on Aug. 4, 2026, at the Ai4 exhibit floor at The Venetian in Las Vegas. - The platform is built on the Model Context Protocol, or MCP, an open standard that lets AI assistants securely interact with enterprise software. - Avatier said the platform is free to start, includes deployment services and carries a 45-day money-back guarantee. - The invitation-only preview for Identity Anywhere 2027™ and Avatier for Claude Code™ runs Aug. 4–6 at Ai4 Booth 1053. - Enterprise leaders, CISOs, analysts, investors and developers can schedule a 15-minute preview.

The details: - Identity Anywhere 2027 lets customers pay for completed, verified, policy-compliant identity outcomes instead of traditional software licenses. - Avatier calls those completed actions Secure Outcomes. - Secure Outcomes include authentication, password resets, account unlocks, identity verification, access approvals, policy enforcement and lifecycle changes. - The platform is designed to create governed identity experiences using AI assistants teams already use, including Anthropic Claude Code, Microsoft Copilot and OpenAI Codex. - Avatier says organizations can design experiences around users, policies, applications, infrastructure and regulatory requirements without long custom-development or professional-services engagements. - The system generates audit evidence for human, machine and AI-agent identity actions. - Each Secure Outcome records the identity involved, the initiating agent or experience, the authorization context, the policy applied, the action taken and the final result. - Avatier says Identity Anywhere 2027 can govern people, applications, machines, credentials and AI agents. - The platform works with existing investments from Microsoft, Okta, SailPoint, Saviynt and ServiceNow. - Customers can deploy Avatier alongside current systems and compare results before making architecture decisions. - Pricing is based on environment size, expected usage, security requirements and the Secure Outcomes deployed. - Full commercial terms are available only to qualified organizations in the invitation-only preview. - Avatier says its Secure Outcome Guarantee™ allows a refund request if a customer is not satisfied within the first 45 days of paid service. - The company says a global healthcare provider managing more than 100,000 identities is already piloting the platform through its AI and MCP environment.

Between the lines: - Avatier is positioning identity as a measurable work product, not a stack of software entitlements. - The message is aimed at buyers facing pressure to adopt AI while still proving control, authorization and auditability. - Dr. Sam Wertheim, Avatier’s CISO, said auditors now want to know which human or AI identity touched a regulated system, what authority it used, what policy was enforced and where the evidence is. - Nelson Cicchitto, Avatier’s founder and CEO, said the company wants to change the “unit of value” from software ownership to verified identity work. - The company is also signaling that AI assistants should remain constrained by authentication, authorization, delegated authority, policy enforcement and audit controls. - The platform’s compatibility with incumbent vendors suggests Avatier is trying to win through coexistence first, not forced replacement.

What’s next: - Avatier will spend the Aug. 4–6 Ai4 event courting enterprise leaders, security teams and investors for the preview program. - The pilot with the global healthcare provider suggests the company wants proof points from regulated environments before broader rollout. - The commercial model will be tested by whether customers accept outcome-based pricing for identity operations that have long been sold as licenses and services. - The broader bet is that AI-native identity tools will need to move as fast as automation itself while still producing defensible audit trails.

The bottom line: - Avatier is not just launching a new identity platform. It is trying to make verified identity outcomes the thing customers buy.
