Okta SCIM pricing: what it's gated behind, and what it costs
SCIM gated behind a paid tier. Iden provisions Okta on any plan tier.
2 min read · Last updated June 2026
Okta gates SCIM provisioning behind its Add-on (Lifecycle Management) or Essentials/higher plan (Contact Sales (~$4/u/mo add-on)), up from Starter: $6/u/mo (SSO only). Standard plans cannot use automated provisioning, so most identity tools either make you upgrade, about 0.7x the per-seat price across every user, or leave Okta manual. Iden provisions Okta 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 Okta SCIM tax costs
Okta gates SCIM to the Add-on (Lifecycle Management) or Essentials/higher plan (Contact Sales (~$4/u/mo add-on)), up from Starter: $6/u/mo (SSO only), about 0.7x the per-seat price across every user. With Iden you connect Okta on any plan instead, so this cost does not apply.
Lifecycle Management add-on provides SCIM/provisioning at ~$4/u/mo. New Essentials tier ($17/u/mo) bundles advanced automation. $1,500/yr minimum.

How Iden provisions Okta on any plan
Iden does not depend on Okta’s SCIM endpoint. It connects Okta 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.
