Summary and recommendation
Calendly supports native SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but gates it behind the Enterprise plan with a $15,000/year minimum and 30-user requirement. Teams can add SSO to the Teams plan for $3/seat/month, but SCIM remains Enterprise-only. This creates a significant barrier: smaller teams that need automated provisioning face a 2.1x price increase (from $20 to $42/user/month) plus the 30-seat minimum commitment.
The gap between SSO and SCIM access is particularly problematic since Calendly doesn't support Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning. Without JIT, SSO alone leaves you manually managing user accounts—defeating the purpose of automated identity management. For compliance-focused organizations, this creates ongoing operational overhead and potential security gaps when employees join or leave.
The strategic alternative
Stitchflow provides managed provisioning automation for Calendly without the Enterprise upgrade requirement. Works with any Calendly 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 Calendly accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Calendly pricing problem
Calendly gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Plan Structure (Billed Annually)
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $12/user/mo | ||
| Teams | $20/user/mo | ||
| Enterprise | $15,000/year min (30+ users) |
Note: Teams plan can add SSO for an additional $3/user/month, but SCIM remains exclusive to Enterprise.
What this means in practice
The Enterprise upgrade represents a massive cost jump from Teams pricing:
| Team Size | Teams Plan Cost | Enterprise Minimum | Price Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 users | $2,400/year | $15,000/year | +$12,600/year |
| 20 users | $4,800/year | $15,000/year | +$10,200/year |
| 30 users | $7,200/year | $15,000/year | +$7,800/year |
Teams under 30 users face an especially punitive pricing structure, paying more than double their current costs just to access basic provisioning capabilities.
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Calendly supports SCIM but only at Enterprise tier ($15,000/year minimum (30+ users))
- 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
Calendly doesn't sell SCIM separately—it's locked behind their Enterprise plan with a 30-user minimum and $15,000/year commitment. Here's what you're actually paying for:
Stitchflow Insight
The math is brutal: if you only need automated provisioning for a smaller team, you're paying enterprise prices for features you'll never touch. We estimate ~80% of Enterprise features are irrelevant for teams that just want SCIM. The 30-user minimum makes this completely inaccessible for smaller organizations, even if they have the budget.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment on Calendly's SCIM pricing is strongly negative. The $15,000 minimum Enterprise requirement creates significant barriers for smaller organizations. Common complaints:
- $15K annual minimum just to access SCIM provisioning
- 30-user minimum requirement excludes smaller teams entirely
- Teams plan offers SSO but deliberately excludes SCIM
- Massive price jump from Teams ($20/seat/month) to Enterprise (~$42/seat/month)
The pricing structure is ridiculous - we only have 15 users but need SCIM. Why can't they offer it as an add-on like other vendors?
SSO on Teams but no SCIM feels like artificial segmentation. Small businesses need automated provisioning too.
We're paying $15K minimum for features we don't need just to get basic user management automation.
The recurring theme
Calendly uses SCIM as a forced upgrade lever, pricing out smaller organizations that need automated provisioning but can't justify Enterprise-level costs.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| On Standard/Teams, need SCIM | Use Stitchflow: avoid the $15K minimum Enterprise jump |
| Small team (<30 users) wanting automated provisioning | Use Stitchflow: Enterprise has 30-user minimum you can't meet |
| On Teams with SSO, want to add SCIM | Use Stitchflow: SCIM isn't available as an add-on like SSO |
| Already on Enterprise plan | Use native SCIM: you're paying $15K+ anyway |
| Need Enterprise features beyond SCIM | Evaluate Enterprise: SCIM comes bundled with advanced features |
| Very small footprint, stable team | Manual may work: but watch for security gaps as you grow |
The bottom line
Calendly's Enterprise-only SCIM with a 30-user minimum creates a $15K+ barrier that locks out most teams from automated provisioning. For organizations that need SCIM without the massive tier upgrade, Stitchflow delivers the same automation at a fraction of the cost.
