How to estimate what SSO and SCIM will cost before you pick a provider
Blog post from WorkOS
Enterprise authentication costs can vary substantially because SCIM directory provisioning is often priced separately from SSO, bundled into higher plans, or counted against shared connection allowances. Evaluating providers requires looking beyond advertised per-connection rates to account for SCIM adoption, user-based charges, organization caps, plan upgrades, unpublished pricing thresholds, billing terms, and the operational effort required to help customer IT administrators configure identity systems. The recommended approach is to project enterprise customer counts, expected SCIM usage, users per customer, and total organizations over current, 12-month, and 24-month periods, then calculate monthly costs across providers while identifying upgrade triggers and setup experience. A WorkOS example, assuming 60% of customers require SCIM and each has roughly 500 users, shows monthly costs rising from $1,000 for five customers to $13,850 for 100 customers, driven primarily by SSO and directory-sync connection fees rather than user volume.
