Per-IdP deep dives

The eight providers

Okta

Why this exists

Two halves of one procurement decision

SSO procurement has two cost lines that vendor blogs almost always discuss separately: the IdP itself (Okta, Entra, JumpCloud, etc.) and the SSO premium each SaaS vendor charges to integrate with that IdP. Most "true cost of SSO" comparisons cover one side and skip the other.

idppricing.com covers the IdP side. ssopricing.com covers the vendor side. Both publish per-row verified-on dates, link every claim to its source, and re-verify quarterly. Same independence rules — no affiliate revenue, no SSO product to sell, no IdP partnership.

For a buyer-side reader, the right view of "what SSO actually costs you" is the sum of an IdP from this site plus the per-vendor premium from ssopricing.com. Methodology.

Hidden free tier

You probably already pay for Microsoft Entra ID

Microsoft 365 E3 includes Entra ID P1. M365 E5 includes Entra ID P2. The marginal cost of using Microsoft as your IdP, for any organisation already on those M365 tiers, is $0.

Practical test: if your team is on M365 E3 or E5 and the IdP feature set on Entra P1/P2 covers your needs (it does for most companies under 1,000 seats), you're paying twice if you also subscribe to Okta or JumpCloud. The calculator above factors this in when you tick the M365 E3 box.
