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 MFA and conditional policies beyond basic SSO
  • Need lifecycle automation (provisioning/deprovisioning) at scale
  • Need identity governance features like access reviews and approvals
  • Need advanced reporting/audit for compliance or incident response
  • Need enterprise support/SLAs for identity as critical infrastructure

What gets expensive first

  • The real cost is usually the bundle of modules you must enable, not the base SKU
  • Policy sprawl becomes operational debt if ownership isn’t clear
  • Some app integrations still require testing and custom attribute mapping
  • Migrations require careful cutover planning (SSO outages are high impact)
  • Org-wide rollout depends on change management as much as tooling

Plans and variants (structural only)

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

Plans
  • Base - Per-user licensing - SSO and baseline access control (see pricing page)
  • Security - Add-on modules - MFA, conditional policies, and advanced controls (see pricing page)
  • Governance - Add-on modules - Access reviews, lifecycle automation, and audits (see pricing page)
