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 SSO and identity governance features
  • Need for SCIM provisioning and lifecycle workflows for B2B tenants
  • Need stronger auditability and admin controls for large tenants
  • Need to standardize identity across multiple products/apps
  • Need advanced security and anomaly controls beyond defaults

What gets expensive first

  • Auth and data layer coupling increases switching cost later
  • B2B identity expands scope beyond login (orgs, roles, audits, provisioning)
  • Account recovery and abuse prevention are operational costs at scale
  • RLS is powerful but requires discipline to avoid security footguns
  • Identity incidents are outages: logs and runbooks still matter

Plans and variants (structural only)

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

Plans
  • Core - Platform-included - Auth integrated with Supabase stack (see docs)
  • Scale - Usage-driven - Costs appear with broader platform usage and operations
Enterprise
  • Enterprise - Platform shift - SSO/provisioning often requires a CIAM layer

Next step: constraints + what breaks first

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