Summary and recommendation
Asana supports SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans ($35/user/month). This creates a significant cost barrier for teams on Starter ($10.99/user/month) or Advanced ($24.99/user/month) plans who need automated user provisioning. For a 50-person team moving from Advanced to Enterprise just for SCIM, that's an additional $60,000 annually—often for enterprise features they don't need.
The pricing gap is particularly problematic because Asana's Advanced plan already includes premium project management features that most teams require. Without SCIM, IT teams must manually provision users or rely on just-in-time (JIT) provisioning via SAML, which doesn't provide the same level of control over user lifecycle management and group assignments that full SCIM automation delivers.
The strategic alternative
Stitchflow provides managed SCIM provisioning for Asana without requiring the Enterprise tier upgrade. Works with any Asana plan. Flat pricing under $5K/year, regardless of team size.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Asana accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Asana pricing problem
Asana gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $10.99/user/mo | ||
| Advanced | $24.99/user/mo | ||
| Enterprise | $35/user/mo | ||
| Enterprise+ | $45/user/mo |
Plan Structure (Billed Annually)
| Plan | Price | SCIM |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $10.99/user/mo | ❌ |
| Advanced | $24.99/user/mo | ❌ |
| Enterprise | $35/user/mo | ✓ |
| Enterprise+ | $45/user/mo | ✓ |
Note: Enterprise pricing is not publicly available—the $35/user/mo figure represents the minimum reported by existing customers. Actual pricing requires sales engagement.
What this means in practice
Using the minimum Enterprise pricing (Advanced → Enterprise upgrade):
| Team Size | Annual Upgrade Cost |
|---|---|
| 50 users | +$6,000/year |
| 100 users | +$12,000/year |
| 200 users | +$24,000/year |
Calculation: ($35 - $24.99) × users × 12 months
Many customers report actual Enterprise quotes significantly higher than $35/user/mo, especially for smaller teams where Asana applies minimum spend requirements.
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Asana supports SCIM but only at Enterprise tier ($35/user/mo (flexes with AI Studio add-ons))
- Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually
What the upgrade actually includes
Asana doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's bundled with Enterprise/Enterprise+ features:
Stitchflow Insight
The Enterprise plan starts at $35/user/month (with additional costs for AI Studio add-ons), but Asana doesn't publish exact pricing—you have to contact sales. If you need enterprise-grade project management features anyway, the upgrade may make sense. If you just want automated user provisioning for your existing Advanced plan workflows, you're paying for a premium bundle you won't fully use. We estimate ~60% of Enterprise features are irrelevant for teams that only need SCIM.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment on Asana's SCIM paywall is consistently frustrated. Common complaints:
- SCIM locked behind Enterprise tier despite Advanced being a premium plan at $24.99/user
- No public Enterprise pricing forces lengthy sales conversations for basic automation
- Smaller teams (under 500 users) stuck with manual provisioning or expensive upgrades
- JIT provisioning via SAML exists but lacks the robustness of full SCIM
Why is SCIM not available on Advanced? We're already paying $25/user/month and still can't get basic user provisioning.
Had to go through a whole sales process just to find out Enterprise pricing was 40% higher than Advanced. All we wanted was automated user management.
The recurring theme
Asana uses SCIM as enterprise sales leverage, forcing teams into opaque pricing negotiations for what should be standard identity management functionality.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| On Starter/Advanced, need SCIM | Use Stitchflow: avoid the $24K+ annual tier jump to Enterprise |
| Already on Enterprise with SCIM | Use native SCIM: you're paying for it |
| Need Enterprise features beyond SCIM | Evaluate Enterprise upgrade: SCIM comes bundled |
| Budget-conscious teams under 100 users | Use Stitchflow: predictable <$5K vs unknown Enterprise pricing |
| Small team, infrequent user changes | Manual may work: but watch for security gaps as you scale |
The bottom line
Asana locks SCIM behind Enterprise pricing that requires sales contact, creating uncertainty for teams on Advanced ($24.99/user/mo) who just need provisioning automation. Stitchflow delivers managed SCIM at transparent flat pricing without forcing an expensive tier upgrade.
Automate Asana without the tier upgrade
Stitchflow delivers SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation, backed by 24/7 human in the loop for Asana at <$5K/year, flat, regardless of team size.
