Salesforce SCIM pricing: what it's gated behind, and what it costs
SCIM gated behind a paid tier. Iden provisions Salesforce on any plan tier.
2 min read · Last updated June 2026
Salesforce gates SCIM provisioning behind its Enterprise plan (Enterprise: $175/u/mo), up from Starter: $25/u/mo. Standard plans cannot use automated provisioning, so most identity tools either make you upgrade, about 7x the per-seat price across every user, or leave Salesforce manual. Iden provisions Salesforce 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 Salesforce SCIM tax costs
Salesforce gates SCIM to the Enterprise plan (Enterprise: $175/u/mo), up from Starter: $25/u/mo, about 7x the per-seat price across every user. With Iden you connect Salesforce on any plan instead, so this cost does not apply.
| Users | Starter Suite | Enterprise (for SCIM) | SCIM tax / year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $30,000 | $210,000 | $180,000 |
| 300 | $90,000 | $630,000 | $540,000 |
| 500 | $150,000 | $1,050,000 | $900,000 |

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