Summary and recommendation
Drift supports SCIM provisioning, but only through its Okta integration and requires an Enterprise plan with custom pricing (Premium starts at $2,500/month annual, but Enterprise costs are undisclosed). The SCIM implementation is primarily designed around Okta's integration, limiting flexibility for organizations using other identity providers like Entra ID or Google Workspace.
This creates a significant challenge for IT teams managing mixed IdP environments or those preferring vendor-agnostic provisioning solutions. Since Drift was acquired by Salesloft, there's additional uncertainty around long-term feature stability and pricing changes. For sales and marketing teams relying on proper rep routing and chatbot ownership assignments, manual user management becomes a bottleneck that undermines the platform's automation benefits.
The strategic alternative
Drift gates SCIM behind Enterprise. That can unlock provisioning, but it still does not complete the offboarding, access review, or license workflow across the rest of your stack. Stitchflow builds and maintains the IT workflows your team still runs manually, across every app, including the ones without APIs.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Drift accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Drift pricing problem
Drift gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Plan Structure
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | $2,500/mo | ||
| Advanced | Custom | ||
| Enterprise | Custom |
Note: Premium pricing is $2,500/month when billed annually. Advanced and Enterprise require custom quotes through demos, with SCIM provisioning only available at the Enterprise level.
What this means in practice
The minimum entry point for SCIM is Enterprise tier with custom pricing. Based on typical SaaS pricing patterns for conversational marketing platforms:
Without transparent Enterprise pricing, teams face lengthy sales cycles and budget uncertainty just to evaluate provisioning costs.
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Drift supports SCIM but only at Enterprise tier (Custom)
- 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
Drift doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's bundled with Enterprise features, and pricing requires custom quotes after a demo:
Stitchflow Insight
The catch? Drift was acquired by Salesloft, so you're buying into a converged platform strategy. If you just need user provisioning for a straightforward chat tool, you're paying enterprise prices for sales engagement features you may not use. We estimate ~60% of Enterprise features are irrelevant for teams that only need basic chat functionality with automated user management.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment on Drift's SCIM implementation is mixed, with concerns about vendor uncertainty and limited IdP options. Common complaints:
The Salesloft acquisition has IT teams questioning long-term platform stability: "We're holding off on deeper Drift integration until we see how the Salesloft merger plays out - don't want to get stuck if they sunset features."
- SCIM provisioning primarily locked to Okta integration only
- Uncertainty about feature roadmap following Salesloft acquisition
- Enterprise tier requirements with custom pricing that lacks transparency
- Limited documentation for non-Okta identity providers
The recurring theme
While Drift offers solid SCIM functionality through Okta, the vendor uncertainty and limited IdP support makes teams hesitant to commit to enterprise pricing.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| On Premium ($2,500/mo), need SCIM | Use Stitchflow: avoid the Enterprise upgrade costs |
| On Advanced/Enterprise but SCIM not working reliably | Use Stitchflow: get consistent provisioning across all IdPs |
| Already on Enterprise with working Okta SCIM | Use native SCIM: you're paying for it |
| Using Entra ID or Google Workspace | Use Stitchflow: native SCIM only works with Okta |
| Small sales team, minimal rep changes | Manual may work: but watch for routing mistakes |
The bottom line
Drift gates SCIM behind Enterprise. The upgrade may unlock provisioning, but the workflow still has to complete across the rest of your stack.
Close the Drift workflow gap
Drift gates SCIM behind Enterprise, but the bigger issue is the workflow around it. Stitchflow builds and maintains the offboarding, access review, or license workflow underneath.
