GitLab gates SCIM provisioning behind its Premium plan (Premium: $29/u/mo (SCIM included)), up from Premium: $29/u/mo. Standard plans cannot use automated provisioning, so most identity tools either make you upgrade, about 1x the per-seat price across every user, or leave GitLab manual. Iden provisions GitLab 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 GitLab SCIM tax costs

GitLab gates SCIM to the Premium plan (Premium: $29/u/mo (SCIM included)), up from Premium: $29/u/mo, about 1x the per-seat price across every user. With Iden you connect GitLab on any plan instead, so this cost does not apply.

Free tier has no SCIM. SCIM is included starting at Premium ($29/u/mo SaaS). Premium is both the lowest paid tier and the SCIM tier.

How Iden provisions GitLab on any plan

Iden does not depend on GitLab’s SCIM endpoint. It connects GitLab 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.
