WorkOS Pricing in May 2026

WorkOS's standard pricing is unusually transparent for enterprise auth: free up to 1M MAUs for organizations, $125/connection/month for SAML SSO, $125/connection/month for SCIM directory sync, custom Enterprise pricing for high-volume organizations. The per-connection model means costs scale with how many enterprise customers you have, not how many users. Real-world WorkOS bills for B2B SaaS land at $250-2,500/month — typical for SaaS with 5-25 enterprise customers requiring SSO.

The $1,000 startup credit covers 4-12 months of WorkOS for typical B2B SaaS with growing enterprise base. Eligibility focuses on B2B SaaS startups with verified enterprise sales motion. The credit applies to all WorkOS products including SAML SSO, SCIM, audit logs, and Magic Link auth. The strategic decision: WorkOS's value is specifically B2B-enterprise-readiness — the connection-based pricing is dramatically cheaper than Auth0 Enterprise's per-MAU model when you have 5-20 enterprise customers. For B2B SaaS specifically, the pattern that's emerged in 2024-2026 is Clerk + WorkOS together: Clerk for general user management (cheap or free at startup MAU), WorkOS for enterprise SSO/SCIM (priced per enterprise connection). This combination handles the full B2B SaaS auth surface at significantly lower cost than Auth0 Enterprise. The credit window is the right time to validate whether your enterprise sales motion is real — most B2B SaaS startups discover their first 3-5 enterprise customers each have different SAML provider quirks, and WorkOS handles this complexity better than custom-built SAML.
