Summary and recommendation
Bugsnag supports native SCIM provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans with custom pricing. This creates a significant cost barrier since you must upgrade from Business ($475/month for 1M events) to Enterprise just to unlock automated user provisioning. For many engineering teams, this represents a substantial price jump for provisioning features that should be standard across all paid plans.
The Enterprise requirement is particularly problematic for mid-size development teams who need error monitoring automation but don't require Enterprise-level features. Without SCIM, IT teams must manually provision developer accounts and manage team memberships for project access—creating security gaps when developers change teams or leave the company. OneLogin users face an additional limitation: SCIM isn't supported on Enterprise instances, forcing a workaround through the standard Bugsnag app.
The strategic alternative
Stitchflow provides SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation for Bugsnag without requiring the Enterprise upgrade. Works with Business plans and any identity provider. Flat pricing under $5K/year, regardless of your event volume or team size.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Bugsnag accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Bugsnag pricing problem
Bugsnag gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Plan Structure
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business | $475/month (1M events) | ||
| Preferred | Custom pricing | ||
| Enterprise | Custom pricing |
Note: Bugsnag uses event-based pricing rather than per-seat, but SCIM access still requires Enterprise-level contracts regardless of event volume.
What this means in practice
Since both Preferred and Enterprise use custom pricing, the exact cost difference isn't publicly available. However, industry patterns suggest Enterprise plans typically cost 2-3x more than mid-tier options. For a team processing 1M events monthly:
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Bugsnag supports SCIM but only at Enterprise tier (Custom pricing)
- Google Workspace users get JIT provisioning only, not full SCIM
- Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually
What the upgrade actually includes
Bugsnag doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's bundled with Enterprise features (with basic SSO on Preferred):
The pricing jump from Business ($475/month) to Enterprise (custom pricing) is significant, especially when Enterprise typically starts well above $1,000/month for error monitoring platforms. If you need enterprise security controls anyway, the upgrade makes sense. If you just want automated user provisioning for your development team, you're paying for extensive enterprise features you won't use.
Stitchflow Insight
We estimate ~80% of Enterprise features are irrelevant for engineering teams that simply need SCIM to automate developer access and team-based project visibility.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment on Bugsnag's SCIM restrictions is consistently frustrated. Common complaints:
- Enterprise-only SCIM forcing massive tier jumps for basic automation
- OneLogin Enterprise instance incompatibility breaking SCIM entirely
- Having to upgrade from $475/month Business to custom Enterprise pricing
- SCIM being held hostage behind observability features most teams don't need
Why is SCIM locked behind Enterprise when we just need basic user provisioning? We're paying $475/month already.
The OneLogin Enterprise instance limitation is a dealbreaker. We can't even use their native SCIM with our existing setup.
The recurring theme
Bugsnag treats SCIM as an enterprise upsell rather than basic security hygiene, forcing teams into expensive custom pricing or compatibility dead ends.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| On Business plan, need SCIM | Use Stitchflow: avoid the expensive Enterprise upgrade |
| On any plan, using OneLogin with Enterprise instance | Use Stitchflow: native SCIM isn't supported with OneLogin Enterprise |
| Already on Enterprise plan | Use native SCIM: you're paying for it anyway |
| Need Enterprise features beyond SCIM | Evaluate Enterprise upgrade: SCIM comes bundled with the tier |
| Small dev team, low turnover | Manual provisioning may work: but monitor for project access gaps |
The bottom line
Bugsnag's Enterprise-only SCIM requirement creates a costly barrier for growing engineering teams, especially those using OneLogin Enterprise instances where SCIM isn't even supported. Stitchflow delivers the same provisioning automation without the tier jump or IdP limitations.
Automate Bugsnag without the tier upgrade
Stitchflow delivers SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation, backed by 24/7 human in the loop for Bugsnag at <$5K/year, flat, regardless of team size.
