Elastic SCIM pricing: what it's gated behind, and what it costs
SCIM gated behind a paid tier. Iden provisions Elastic on any plan tier.
2 min read · Last updated June 2026
Elastic gates SCIM provisioning behind its Enterprise plan (Enterprise: from $184/mo (resource-based)), up from Standard: from $99/mo (resource-based). Standard plans cannot use automated provisioning, so most identity tools either make you upgrade or leave Elastic manual. Iden provisions Elastic 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 Elastic SCIM tax costs
Elastic gates SCIM to the Enterprise plan (Enterprise: from $184/mo (resource-based)), up from Standard: from $99/mo (resource-based). With Iden you connect Elastic on any plan instead, so this cost does not apply.
Resource-based pricing. Free self-managed exists. SAML/SSO on Platinum; SCIM typically Enterprise. Real deployments $1.5K-$50K+/mo.

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