The SCIM Tax Index An open dataset · Last updated April 2026

SCIM Tax

SCIM is the protocol IT teams use to automate user provisioning and deprovisioning. Most SaaS vendors support it. Most lock it behind an Enterprise plan, and many won't say what it costs until you sit through a sales call. ~300 vendors surveyed below.

Simply said, it's the tax (a very expensive one) you're paying to manage your own users.

Methodology

Vendors are drawn from cross-referenced industry sources: notsosso.com, sso.tax, Okta Business at Work, Zylo SaaS Index, Productiv App Inventory, Ramp Velocity, the Okta Integration Network, and the Rippling App Shop. Coverage prioritises the most-deployed horizontal and vertical SaaS in mid-market and enterprise stacks.

For each vendor we record whether SCIM (or equivalent automated provisioning) is offered, the lowest plan it appears on, the price of that plan, the price of the typical team or business tier, and a direct link to the public pricing page used as evidence.

Status definitions. No Tax: SCIM included on all plans or on the team tier at no separate upcharge. Gated: SCIM only on an Enterprise / Contact Sales tier or as a paid add-on. Partial: limited or conditional support, often IdP-specific or via a separate product. No SCIM: not offered at any tier. Unknown: not disclosed publicly.

Prices reflect publicly listed annual billing in US dollars where available. The full methodology document includes source-by-source reconciliation, edge cases, and update rules. Found an issue? Open an issue.
