Summary and recommendation
Almanac, the documentation and workflow template platform, offers SCIM provisioning exclusively through their Enterprise plan with custom pricing. While they provide Okta integration with SAML SSO and SCIM support, there's no public documentation for SCIM capabilities, and you must contact their sales team directly to access enterprise features. This creates a black box situation where IT teams can't evaluate provisioning capabilities or understand limitations before committing to enterprise pricing discussions.
The lack of transparent SCIM documentation is particularly problematic for documentation platforms like Almanac, where user access often spans multiple teams and departments. Without clear provisioning capabilities, IT teams face manual user management across what should be a centralized knowledge base, creating security gaps and administrative overhead that scales poorly as organizations grow.
The strategic alternative
Stitchflow provides managed provisioning automation for Almanac without requiring enterprise plan upgrades or lengthy sales cycles. Works with any Almanac plan and any identity provider (Okta, Entra, Google Workspace, OneLogin). Flat pricing under $5K/year with full transparency and 24/7 human-in-the-loop support.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Almanac accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Almanac pricing problem
Almanac gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (up to 50 documents) | ||
| Pro | $12-15/user/month | ||
| Enterprise | Custom pricing |

| Enterprise | Custom pricing | ✓ Via Okta only | ✓ SAML 2.0 |
Enterprise pricing reality
What this means in practice
For small teams (under 10 users): You'll pay $1,440-$1,800/year on Pro plans but get zero automation. Every user addition, removal, or access change requires manual intervention.
For growing teams (10-50 users): The jump to Enterprise pricing creates a cost cliff. You're forced into custom contracts that could be 3-5x your Pro plan costs just to get basic provisioning capabilities.
For established organizations: Even with Enterprise contracts, you're locked into Okta-only SCIM support, creating vendor dependency issues if you use other identity providers.
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Almanac does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
- Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
- Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually
What Almanac actually offers for identity
Enterprise Plan Features (Custom Pricing)
Almanac gates all identity management features behind their Enterprise plan with custom pricing. Based on available documentation, the Enterprise tier includes:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| SAML SSO | SAML 2.0 with JIT provisioning |
| SCIM Provisioning | Via Okta only (documented) |
| Supported IdPs | Okta (confirmed), others unknown |
| User Management | Automated via SCIM when available |
Okta Integration (Enterprise Only)
The Okta Integration Network listing shows Almanac supports:
Major limitation: SCIM provisioning is only documented for Okta. There's no public information about Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, or OneLogin support.
What's Missing
For most teams evaluating Almanac's identity features:
The reality: You're paying enterprise prices for basic SCIM functionality that should be standard in any business documentation tool.
What IT admins are saying
Almanac's enterprise provisioning features remain opaque for IT teams evaluating documentation platforms:
- Enterprise SCIM capabilities aren't publicly documented, forcing IT teams to contact sales for basic technical details
- Limited IdP support with only Okta integration documented, leaving Entra ID and Google Workspace users uncertain
- No clear pricing transparency for enterprise features that include automated provisioning
- Manual user management required for teams not on enterprise plans, even with SSO enabled
"Must contact vendor for enterprise features" consistently appears across provisioning research, indicating Almanac keeps their automation capabilities behind closed doors until you're deep in their sales process.
The recurring theme
IT teams can't properly evaluate Almanac's provisioning capabilities without entering a sales cycle, making it difficult to budget or plan implementations compared to platforms with transparent enterprise documentation.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small documentation team (<20 users) | Manual management with SAML SSO if available |
| Growing operations team with frequent changes | Use Stitchflow: automation prevents access sprawl |
| Enterprise with compliance requirements | Use Stitchflow: automated audit trail essential |
| Multi-department knowledge base | Use Stitchflow: manual provisioning doesn't scale |
| Using non-Okta IdP (Entra, Google, OneLogin) | Use Stitchflow: only Okta has documented SCIM |
The bottom line
Almanac's enterprise SCIM capabilities are undocumented and only work with Okta, leaving most organizations in a provisioning black box. For teams that need reliable, cross-IdP automation for their documentation workflows, Stitchflow delivers the transparency and control that Almanac's native approach lacks.
Automate Almanac without third-party complexity
Stitchflow delivers SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation, backed by 24/7 human in the loop for Almanac at <$5K/year, flat, regardless of team size.
