The trend has been to offer single-sign-on and user provisioning as the carrot to upgrade to enterprise (e.g. Slack), which nearly doubles the cost. For a 200 employee business that's $3K USD/month. Even smaller startups should be using SSO and automated deprovisioning for security. And Slack isn't going to be the only service that wants to double prices for enterprise features while still charging per user. For those prices, we can hire a full time employee just to be the admin for your service and get them doing more productive things on top of that. Charging per user is not sustainable when you get into the higher numbers, so we'll look at alternatives, host our own services long term, and/or hire a dedicated admin.
