Pricing behavior (not a price list)
These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.
Actions that trigger upgrades
- Enterprise customers require advanced compliance certifications
- Need for mature SAML/SCIM provisioning workflows
- Advanced identity governance requirements beyond platform defaults
- Need for larger integration ecosystem and community support
- Scale requirements that exceed newer platform's proven limits
What gets expensive first
- Newer platform means less battle-tested at enterprise scale
- B2B requirements can expand scope beyond bundled feature flags
- Switching cost grows once auth + feature flags are deeply integrated
- Enterprise procurement may require additional compliance validation
- Smaller community means fewer examples and troubleshooting resources
Plans and variants (structural only)
Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.
Free

Enterprise

Next step: constraints + what breaks first
Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
