SAML SSO costs compared: Auth0, WorkOS, Clerk pricing analysis

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A comparison of SAML SSO and SCIM pricing at Auth0, Clerk, WorkOS, and Authagonal reveals significant cost differences. For a startup with 1,000 MAU and one SSO connection, WorkOS charges $3,000/year while Auth0 offers it free. At 10,000 MAU with three connections, WorkOS costs $9,000/year versus Authagonal's $1,639.

Meridian48 take
The analysis highlights how SSO pricing can be a hidden tax on B2B startups, with WorkOS charging per-connection fees that escalate quickly, while Auth0 and Authagonal offer more affordable options.
