Summary and recommendation
Pave, the compensation management platform, does not support SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Pave offers Okta SSO integration, it's only available to customers on the Workflows package (starting at ~$23,750/year for 250 employees), and even then, SSO only handles authentication—not user lifecycle management. IT teams must manually create, update, and deactivate user accounts in Pave, creating a significant administrative burden for what should be an automated process.
This manual provisioning approach creates real compliance and security risks. When employees join, change roles, or leave the company, their Pave access must be manually updated, leading to delays in onboarding and potential security gaps where former employees retain access to sensitive compensation data. For growing companies managing hundreds of employees' compensation information, this manual overhead quickly becomes unsustainable and increases the risk of data exposure.
The strategic alternative
Pave has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Pave accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Pave pricing problem
Pave gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 1-200 employees | ||
| Standard | From $799/month | ||
| Workflows | ~$23,750/year (250 employees) | ||
| Premium Bundle | ~$33,000/year |
Pricing and provisioning options
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 1-200 employees | ||
| Standard | From $799/month | ||
| Workflows | ~$23,750/year (250 employees) | ||
| Premium Bundle | ~$33,000/year |
Key limitation: Even Pave's most expensive plans don't include SCIM provisioning. SSO is restricted to Okta and only available on Workflows packages that cost $24,000+ annually.
What this means in practice
For companies under 200 employees: You get basic compensation benchmarking for free, but zero identity management capabilities. Every user must be manually invited and managed.
For larger organizations: You face a minimum $24,000/year commitment just to get basic Okta SSO. There's no automated user provisioning at any price point, meaning:
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Pave does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
- Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
- Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually
What Pave actually offers for identity
SSO Only (Workflows package required)
Pave offers limited identity integration through SSO, but requires their premium Workflows package:
| Feature | Supported? | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Okta SAML SSO | ✓ Yes | Workflows package subscription |
| Google SSO | ✓ Yes | Workflows package subscription |
| Generic SAML | ✓ Yes | Workflows package subscription |
| User provisioning | ❌ No | Not available |
| User deprovisioning | ❌ No | Not available |
| Group sync | ❌ No | Not available |
| Automated user lifecycle | ❌ No | Not available |
What this means: You get federated login for users who already have Pave accounts, but zero automation around user lifecycle management.
The Pricing Reality
To access even basic SSO, you need Pave's Workflows package:
You're paying enterprise-level pricing for a compensation platform that happens to include SSO as a bundled feature—not because you need sophisticated workflow automation.
Alternative Integration (Rippling only)
Pave mentions user management capabilities through Rippling integration, but this:
Bottom line: Pave offers expensive SSO with no provisioning capabilities. For teams that just want automated user lifecycle management, you're paying for workflow features you don't need while still lacking the provisioning automation that matters.
What IT admins are saying
Pave's lack of automated provisioning forces IT teams into manual user management workflows:
- User accounts must be manually created and maintained in Pave
- No SCIM support means departing employees require manual deprovisioning
- SSO requires upgrading to the expensive Workflows package
- User access management becomes a scattered process across multiple systems
SSO is only available for Workflows package subscribers... this adds significant cost just for basic identity integration.
We have to manually manage all Pave users since there's no provisioning API. It's easy to forget to remove access when people leave.
The recurring theme
Without native provisioning, Pave creates an isolated user management silo that requires constant manual intervention, increasing both operational overhead and security risks for IT teams.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small compensation team (<10 users) on free tier | Manual management is acceptable |
| Growing company ready to invest in Workflows package | Manual management with Okta SSO for authentication |
| Mid-size company (50+ employees) needing audit trails | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for compliance |
| Enterprise with frequent compensation team changes | Use Stitchflow: automation eliminates manual overhead |
| Multi-IdP environment or using Entra ID | Use Stitchflow: works with any identity provider |
The bottom line
Pave delivers powerful compensation benchmarking and planning, but lacks any provisioning automation—even Okta SSO requires the premium Workflows package. For companies that need reliable user lifecycle management without the premium pricing constraints, Stitchflow provides SCIM-level provisioning that works with any plan and any identity provider.
