Box SCIM pricing: what it's gated behind, and what it costs
SCIM gated behind a paid tier. Iden provisions Box on any plan tier.
2 min read · Last updated June 2026
Box gates SCIM provisioning behind its Business plan (Business: $15/u/mo (annual)), up from Business Starter: $5/u/mo (annual). Standard plans cannot use automated provisioning, so most identity tools either make you upgrade, about 3x the per-seat price across every user, or leave Box manual. Iden provisions Box 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 Box SCIM tax costs
Box gates SCIM to the Business plan (Business: $15/u/mo (annual)), up from Business Starter: $5/u/mo (annual), about 3x the per-seat price across every user. With Iden you connect Box on any plan instead, so this cost does not apply.

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