PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals. Licensing-wise, PegaRULES is at par with market rates.
So far, it has been a bit of an expensive tool to manage. It's not as expensive as Salesforce and others, but it's relatively more expensive than some of the simple applications that can be developed in Java. However, it gets more leverage than usual application-making languages. Its pricing is on the higher side, but they have come up with different plans and different small products that can be used by smaller organizations that don't have that much money to spend. They have different pricing packages depending on the number of users or depending upon the number of cases created in the production or live environment. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing.

They're very cagey in giving out prices, and it is very difficult to find out the real price any organization is going to get. It is almost never their list price, if you can find it, and there are a lot of factors that go into the whole pricing. Their SaaS deployment model, which was the way we were going at a previous organization, had some benefits over Salesforce, but the concern was the price they were going to charge depending on the number of rules or something like that. We were afraid that the cost was going to blow us out of the water. We didn't choose it. We went with Salesforce.
In terms of the price, if I were to compare Pega to other tools, it would be more expensive, but it would also provide you with the same features. If there are applications that scale up to the enterprise level, we would go with Pega, and if it's a smaller application with a smaller workflow, or if they can't afford to invest that much money, they'll go with less expensive tools such as Appian. Camunda is open source, we have people working on it. The licensing fees are not that much.

Compared to what you get - the costs are reasonable. However the question is, if you really need all features? Pegasystems has a clear focus on big companies. Although the software is really mature and thus could be very helpful for SME companies, the high licence fee will be an issue for most SMEs.
