WorkOS
WorkOS · Developer & Infrastructure
Enterprise-ready authentication + user management, positioned as the alternative to building SSO/SCIM/directory sync from scratch. Distinctive per-connection pricing model — $125/mo per SSO connection (vs Clerk's bundled 1 free SSO on Pro). AuthKit free for first 1M users. Popular with B2B SaaS that need to close enterprise deals requiring SAML, SCIM, and audit logs — the "unlock enterprise revenue" tool.
In other words, WorkOS is worth it for B2B SaaS companies (Series A-Series D) that need to add enterprise features (SSO, SCIM, audit logs, admin portal) to their product — particularly to close enterprise deals that require SAML/OIDC. Startup tier covers small SaaS; Enterprise for high-volume with custom pricing. Moderate learning curve for identity concepts. Deep integrations with Okta, Azure AD, Google, JumpCloud, and 50+ identity providers. Downside: pricing scales aggressively past 10 connections, and small SaaS may find Clerk/Auth0 simpler if just starting.
Pricing summary
Per user / per month
Depends on tier
CONFIRMED UNCHANGED 2026-09-15. Entire published rate card re-confirmed against stored values: AuthKit free to 1M MAU then $2,500 per additional million; SSO and Directory Sync both $125/connection/mo with the same automatic volume ladder ($125 at 1-15, $100 at 16-30, $80 at 31-50, $65 at 51-100, $50 at 101-200); Custom Domains $99/mo; Audit Logs $125/mo per SIEM connection + $99/mo per 1M events (workos.com/pricing.md, ssojet, idsync, stackcostlab, budgetforge agree). No vendor pricing-change announcement located. No movement, no snapshots written. NEW DATAPOINT (not currently tracked as a tier): premium support is now listed separately — Scale support $1,000/mo, Enterprise support custom-quoted. Consider whether support plans belong in the tier table or as an add-on field. STACKING REMINDER: a customer needing both SSO and SCIM provisioning is billed on BOTH ladders ($125 + $125 at entry volume), so effective entry cost per enterprise customer is $250/mo, not $125.
No separate trial
Just starting with auth? Pick Clerk (React-first), Auth0 (mature ecosystem), or Kinde (simpler pricing). Full enterprise IAM? Okta or Microsoft Entra.
