SCIM adoption isn't near where it needs to be. I guess yeah, this is the correct answer. We live in a world where SSO is considered an enterprise feature, I hope one day that it's considered default.

Shameless plug for my startup (hope that's ok!) If you're building an app and need to add SCIM, check out WorkOS. My email is in my profile to chat. More info -> https://workos.com/directory-sync https://workos.com/directory-sync

  $125 per connection / month and then you wonder why companies don't offer SSO/SCIM by default in their free/cheap plans.

    (I work for a competitor in the same space as grinich.) Charging for scim is a convenient way to segment customers, the same way SLAs are. For companies that care deeply about controlling user access (or are forced to by law or regulator), that isn't much money. Features like this subsidize the free/cheap version, which you can then offer to let folks learn about and love your software, and use. After all, you can replace scim with careful manual processes until you get to a certain size. It's similar to the sso tax: https://sso.tax/ https://sso.tax/ I'm not aware of a scim.tax site, but maybe there should be one? :)

      > Charging for scim is a convenient way to segment customers It’s also a convenient way to keep charging non-SCIM customers for unused licenses when they inevitably forget to manually nuke accounts belonging to leavers.

Agreed. And most apps have it locked to the most expensive level. Slack, to their credit, offers this at the business+ tier: https://api.slack.com/admins/scim https://api.slack.com/admins/scim
