Summary and recommendation
Monday.com supports SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans—which cost approximately $480 per user annually. For a 100-person team, that's $48,000/year just for the base licensing, before factoring in the premium features you may not need. The pricing jump from Pro (suitable for up to 40 users) to Enterprise represents a significant cost barrier for mid-sized teams that simply want automated user provisioning.
This creates a substantial gap for growing organizations. While monday.com offers JIT (just-in-time) provisioning through SAML SSO, this only creates accounts when users first log in—it doesn't handle automated deprovisioning when employees leave or role changes that require access adjustments. For compliance-conscious IT teams, manual user management at scale becomes both a security risk and an operational burden.
The strategic alternative
Stitchflow provides managed SCIM provisioning for monday.com without requiring the Enterprise upgrade. Works with Pro and lower-tier plans. Flat pricing under $5K/year, regardless of team size—saving tens of thousands compared to the Enterprise licensing requirement.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Monday.com accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Monday.com pricing problem
Monday.com gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Plan Structure (Billed Annually)
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $9/user/mo | ||
| Standard | $12/user/mo | ||
| Pro | Custom (40 user max) | ||
| Enterprise | ~$480/user/year |
Note: Enterprise pricing varies by organization size and requirements, with reports indicating approximately $480 per seat annually for mid-sized deployments.
What this means in practice
For teams currently on Standard tier seeking SCIM access:
| Team Size | Annual Upgrade Cost to Enterprise |
|---|---|
| 25 users | +$140,400/year |
| 50 users | +$280,800/year |
| 100 users | +$561,600/year |
Calculation: ($480 - $144) × users = upgrade cost from Standard to Enterprise
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Monday.com 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
Monday.com doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's locked behind their Enterprise tier, which bundles SCIM with premium features that most teams seeking basic provisioning don't need:
The pricing jump from Pro (designed for up to 40 users) to Enterprise creates a significant gap - there's no mid-tier option for growing teams that need SCIM but don't require the full enterprise feature set.
Stitchflow Insight
At approximately $480/seat/year for Enterprise (based on 200-seat deployments), you're paying for project management sophistication that goes far beyond basic user provisioning. We estimate ~80% of Enterprise features are overkill for teams that simply want to automate user lifecycle management.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment on Monday.com's SCIM requirements is consistently frustrated. Common complaints:
- Being locked into Enterprise pricing just for basic user provisioning
- Complex setup process requiring coordination between multiple admin roles
- No SCIM access on Business/Pro tiers despite paying premium prices
- Feeling forced into expensive Enterprise plans for essential security features
We're on the Pro plan and paying good money, but still can't get SCIM without going Enterprise. The pricing jump is massive for what should be a basic security feature.
Setup was a nightmare - needed our Monday admin, our Okta admin, and multiple back-and-forth sessions to get it working properly.
The recurring theme
Monday.com gates essential identity management behind their highest-priced tier, forcing teams into expensive Enterprise upgrades (~$480/seat/year) just to get automated user provisioning.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| On Basic/Standard, need SCIM | Use Stitchflow: avoid the Enterprise upgrade that costs ~$480/seat/year |
| On Pro plan, want provisioning | Use Stitchflow: Enterprise pricing makes native SCIM prohibitively expensive |
| Already on Enterprise | Use native SCIM: you're paying $480/seat/year, SCIM is included |
| Need Enterprise features beyond SCIM | Evaluate Enterprise: SCIM comes bundled with advanced security |
| Small team, low employee churn | Manual provisioning may work: but JIT can create security gaps |
The bottom line
Monday.com locks SCIM behind Enterprise pricing at ~$480/seat/year, making it cost-prohibitive for most teams on Basic ($108/seat/year) or Standard plans. For organizations that need provisioning automation without the 4x price jump, Stitchflow delivers managed SCIM at under $5K/year flat.
Automate Monday.com without the tier upgrade
Stitchflow delivers SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation, backed by 24/7 human in the loop for Monday.com at <$5K/year, flat, regardless of team size.
