GitHub SCIM pricing: what it's gated behind, and what it costs
SCIM gated behind a paid tier. Iden provisions GitHub on any plan tier.
2 min read · Last updated June 2026
GitHub gates SCIM provisioning behind its Enterprise plan (Enterprise: $21/u/mo), up from Team: $4/u/mo. Standard plans cannot use automated provisioning, so most identity tools either make you upgrade, about 5.3x the per-seat price across every user, or leave GitHub manual. Iden provisions GitHub on any plan, so you skip the SCIM tax entirely and still get provisioning, deprovisioning, and access reviews with a full audit trail.
What the GitHub SCIM tax costs
GitHub gates SCIM to the Enterprise plan (Enterprise: $21/u/mo), up from Team: $4/u/mo, about 5.3x the per-seat price across every user. With Iden you connect GitHub on any plan instead, so this cost does not apply.
| Users | Team | Enterprise (for SCIM) | SCIM tax / year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $4,800 | $25,200 | $20,400 |
| 300 | $14,400 | $75,600 | $61,200 |
| 500 | $24,000 | $126,000 | $102,000 |

How Iden provisions GitHub on any plan
Iden does not depend on GitHub’s SCIM endpoint. It connects GitHub through the method that works on your plan, an API, OAuth, or Iden’s own custom automation, and runs the full lifecycle: onboarding on day one, permission changes as roles move, access requests that replace manual tickets, access reviews with evidence, and offboarding in seconds. That is the coverage SCIM-only tools cannot match once an app gates or lacks SCIM.
