What is WorkOS?
WorkOS provides APIs aimed at SaaS companies that need to add enterprise features, single sign-on (SSO), SCIM directory sync, audit logs and role-based access control, without building each enterprise identity integration from scratch. Its documentation also covers AuthKit, a broader authentication offering with a free tier for the first million monthly active users. Pricing beyond that is usage-based (per-connection for SSO/directory sync, per-check for other features).

WorkOSIdentity & Access ManagementEnterprise-readiness APIs: SSO, SCIM directory sync and audit logs
Key capabilities
- Enterprise SSO: SAML/OIDC connections priced per connection.
- SCIM directory sync: automated user provisioning from customer identity providers.
- Audit logs and RBAC: compliance-oriented features for enterprise buyers.
- AuthKit: broader authentication with a free tier up to 1M monthly active users.
Where WorkOS fits
Enterprise SSO/SCIM integration, audit logging and enterprise-readiness for B2B SaaS products are the core areas. Confirm current per-connection pricing and which features fall under the AuthKit free tier versus paid add-ons.
Positioning and limitations
Shortlist WorkOS specifically for the "sell to enterprise" identity problem: SSO and SCIM integrations that large customers require during procurement. It is a narrower, more targeted tool than a full CIAM platform; teams needing consumer-facing login as well should check whether AuthKit alone covers that need.
Building SSO/SCIM in-house for every enterprise customer's identity provider is a common bottleneck for B2B SaaS sales; validate the specific identity providers customers actually use before assuming full compatibility.
