Pricing behavior (not a price list)

These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.

Actions that trigger upgrades

  • Need enterprise SSO for B2B deals (pushes toward Auth0/Entra)
  • Need stronger governance and audit capabilities
  • Need multi-tenant SaaS access controls and org structures
  • Need to control phone auth costs and abuse at scale
  • Need higher compliance guarantees for regulated customers

What gets expensive first

  • B2B requirements can force a platform switch later
  • Multi-tenant models need careful token/claims design
  • Auth isn’t isolated: it impacts roles, billing, and support flows
  • Abuse and fraud prevention are part of auth at scale
  • Provider switching cost grows once deeply integrated

Plans and variants (structural only)

Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.

Plans
  • Core - Included - SDK-driven auth and providers (see docs)
  • Scale - Usage-driven - Costs appear in supporting services and phone auth patterns
Enterprise
  • Enterprise - Platform shift - SSO/provisioning often requires CIAM

Next step: constraints + what breaks first

Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
