Auth Platforms With SSO and SCIM in the Base Tier - Part 2
Blog post from Clerk
Part 2 of the series on authentication platforms focuses on detailed provider breakdowns, cost evaluations, and decision frameworks for choosing the right auth solutions for B2B SaaS, emphasizing those offering SSO and SCIM in their base tiers. The document assesses providers like Clerk, Auth0, and WorkOS, comparing their pricing models, feature offerings, and suitability for different business scales and requirements. Clerk stands out for its predictable subscription costs with SSO and SCIM bundled in the base tier, making it an attractive option for teams seeking cost-efficiency and scalability without per-connection SCIM fees. Conversely, WorkOS is highlighted for its broad directory support as a standalone pay-per-connection solution, suitable for businesses needing extensive directory compatibility. The text underscores the importance of considering total cost of ownership and scalability over time, with specific examples illustrating how pricing models impact costs as businesses grow. Ultimately, the guide provides a framework for decision-making based on needs such as number of connections, SCIM requirements, and pricing predictability, encouraging businesses to forecast costs beyond initial free or base-tier offerings.
