What is WorkOS?
WorkOS exists for the moment a SaaS lands its first enterprise deal and the security questionnaire asks for SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning. Its APIs wrap the painful parts of enterprise identity — single sign-on against every major IdP, directory sync, audit logs, and an admin portal that lets customers' IT teams configure their own connections without your support tickets. AuthKit, its full user-management layer, extends that into complete authentication (social login, MFA, passkeys, sessions) — free up to one million monthly active users, the most aggressive free tier in the industry. Pricing then runs per enterprise connection rather than per user, which keeps costs aligned with revenue-generating contracts. Developer experience is consistently praised: clean APIs, real documentation, sane SDKs. For B2B SaaS roadmaps, WorkOS is the targeted answer rather than a general identity platform.

FAQ

How much does WorkOS cost?

AuthKit user management is free up to 1 million MAU. Enterprise features are priced per connection — SSO runs $125/month per organization connection, with SCIM priced similarly.

What is AuthKit?

AuthKit is WorkOS's hosted authentication layer: sign-up/sign-in UI, social providers, MFA, passkeys, and session management, designed to pair with its enterprise SSO and SCIM APIs.

WorkOS or Auth0 for B2B SaaS?

WorkOS prices by enterprise connection and gives user management away free, which usually beats Auth0's MAU-plus-enterprise-tier model for SaaS selling to companies rather than consumers.
