This has not been my experience. Trello is a good example. They have an enterprise tier that they basically starts at 100 users. Their business tier does not include SSO and I have a team of 60 people so the enterprise tier (which is about $250/person, by the way, compared to $12 a person for business) is out. Slack charges nearly double for their enterprise tier with SSO. I would not call not getting getting the tier down from the enterprise tiers a "dirty workaround" for most teams.

Yeah, I too hate the "call for pricing!" options and the "click here to be connected to our sales staff!" stuff, and SSO functionality being restricted to company accounts with >100 users or organisations that sign up for multi-year contracts. I also think the lack of white-label options for even enterprise-focused stuff is embarrassing. I'm not sure which of the two sides of this I hate more. In extreme cases, product offerings are bifurcated into: - Sign up for free or with a credit card, but you'll run into problems (or at the very least friction/complications) if you end up trying to use if you something serious - Speak to a salesperson and have your CFO sign the company up for a long-term strategic partnership. The examples that you gave are less clear-cut though. Trello Business is $12.50 per month, and supports Google Apps SSO. Trello Enterprise supports general SSO, and costs $20.83 per month. Slack pricing is $6.67/mo for Standard, and $12.50/mo for Plus with SSO. None of these are costs that should really make or break the profitability of a company; considering that the business is using them to generate revenue or to reduce its expenses, how do they compare to other things like property/facilities expenses and employee salaries/benefits?
