Summary and recommendation
Pigment provides full SCIM 2.0 support for user lifecycle management, but only on its Enterprise tier. This means organizations need to pay Enterprise pricing (starting around $65,000-127,500/year for Professional configurations) to unlock automated provisioning. The limitation isn't just financial—once SCIM is enabled, all member management moves entirely to your IdP, and users must be assigned via groups for proper deprovisioning to work.
For FP&A teams on lower tiers, this creates a significant operational gap. Without SCIM, IT admins must manually provision and deprovision users in Pigment as team members join, leave, or change roles. In financial planning software where access to sensitive budget and forecast data is critical, manual processes introduce compliance risks and delayed access removal when employees leave.
The strategic alternative
Pigment gates SCIM behind Enterprise. Skip the Enterprise plan upgrade and automate complete outcomes across your stack. 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 Pigment accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Pigment pricing problem
Pigment gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Plan Structure
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | ~$65,000-127,500/year base | ||
| Enterprise | Custom pricing (contact sales) |
Note: Professional pricing shown is typical configuration cost including seats and use-case add-ons. Enterprise pricing is quote-based with significant volume discounts available (36-47% off list price for $100K+ contracts).
What this means in practice
Pigment's seat-based model with expensive Enterprise upgrade requirements creates substantial cost barriers:

Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Pigment 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
Pigment doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's bundled with Enterprise tier features:
Stitchflow Insight
The catch: SCIM requires moving all user management to your IdP once enabled, and group provisioning isn't supported yet (though it's on Pigment's roadmap). If you need enterprise planning controls anyway, the upgrade makes sense. If you just want automated user provisioning, you're paying for enterprise features you may not use. We estimate ~60% of Enterprise features are irrelevant for teams that only need basic SCIM automation.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment on Pigment's SCIM implementation is mixed, with most feedback focused on setup complexity and tier requirements. Common complaints:
- SCIM being locked behind the Enterprise tier pricing wall
- Requiring SAML SSO configuration as a prerequisite before SCIM setup
- Manual coordination needed with Pigment Support for initial configuration
- All member management transferring to the IdP once SCIM is enabled (no hybrid management)
Member management moves entirely to your identity provider when SCIM is enabled, so make sure your user assignment strategy is solid before flipping the switch.
You need to contact Support to get SSO enabled first, then work through the SCIM setup. It's not self-service like some other tools.
The recurring theme
While Pigment's SCIM works well once configured, the Enterprise tier requirement and mandatory Support involvement create barriers for teams wanting automated provisioning without the full enterprise commitment.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| On Professional or lower, need SCIM | Use Stitchflow: avoid the $50K+ Enterprise tier jump |
| Already on Enterprise tier | Use native SCIM: you're paying for it anyway |
| Need Enterprise features beyond SCIM | Evaluate Enterprise: SCIM comes bundled with advanced planning |
| Small finance team, low turnover | Manual may work: but watch for security gaps during rapid growth |
| Multi-app provisioning needs | Use Stitchflow: manage all apps from one platform |
