Native SCIM

How to automate Planhat user provisioning, and what it actually costs

Native SCIM requires Custom plan

Summary and recommendation

Planhat supports native SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only on their Enterprise tier with custom pricing. The platform requires SSO to be configured before SCIM can be enabled, and SCIM availability is "on request" - meaning it's not automatically included even at the Enterprise level. This creates a high barrier to entry for automated user provisioning, as organizations must commit to enterprise-level contracts and custom pricing negotiations just to access basic identity management capabilities.

For most customer success teams, this pricing structure creates an unnecessary obstacle. You're forced to choose between manual user management (creating security gaps and administrative overhead) or committing to enterprise pricing that may be disproportionate to your actual platform needs. The custom pricing model also makes it impossible to budget accurately for identity management requirements.

The strategic alternative

Planhat gates SCIM behind Custom. Skip the Custom 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 Planhat accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

Unused licenses12
IT hours spent on manual management/year85 hours
Unused license cost/year$3,500

The Planhat pricing problem

Planhat gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

Plan Structure

PlanPriceSSOSCIM
ProN/A
BusinessN/A
EnterpriseCustom

Note: SCIM is available "on request" for Enterprise customers only. No public pricing available for any tier.

What this means in practice

Budget uncertainty: Without published pricing, IT teams can't budget for SCIM access or compare costs against alternatives. The custom pricing model often results in:

Lengthy sales cycles for simple provisioning requirements
Pricing that scales unpredictably with team size
No clear upgrade path for existing customers on lower tiers

Provisioning gaps: Teams on Pro or Business plans have no automated user management options, forcing manual processes for:

New hire onboarding
Role changes and access updates
Offboarding and deprovisioning

Additional constraints

Sales-gated access
SCIM requires going through enterprise sales process, even for technical evaluation.
SSO prerequisite
SCIM is bundled with SSO and other enterprise features, forcing purchase of unused capabilities.
Limited IdP support
While Okta integration is available, Microsoft Entra ID only supports SSO via SAML with no provisioning support.
Custom implementation
"Available on request" suggests potential custom development costs and longer implementation timelines.

Summary of challenges

  • Planhat supports SCIM but only at Custom 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

Planhat doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's bundled with their Enterprise tier at custom pricing:

SCIM automated provisioning
SAML single sign-on (SSO)
Advanced security controls
Custom data retention policies
Dedicated customer success manager
Premium integrations and API limits
Advanced reporting and analytics
White-label customization options

Additionally, SCIM support is limited to Okta - Microsoft Entra ID users only get SSO via SAML, with no provisioning automation available.

Stitchflow Insight

The challenge? Planhat only provides SCIM "on request" even at the Enterprise level, meaning it's not automatically included. You're negotiating custom pricing for a bundle of enterprise features where SCIM availability isn't guaranteed. We estimate ~80% of Enterprise features are irrelevant for teams that only need automated user provisioning.

What IT admins are saying

Community sentiment on Planhat's SCIM availability is mixed, with frustrations centered on transparency and access barriers. Common complaints:

  • Custom pricing creates uncertainty around SCIM costs
  • SCIM availability "on request" rather than clearly documented
  • Limited provisioning support outside of Okta integration
  • No Microsoft Entra provisioning despite SSO support

Had to go through multiple sales calls just to understand if SCIM was even available for our use case. Should be clearer upfront.

IT Admin, Reddit

Works great with Okta but we're an Entra shop. SSO works fine but no automated provisioning means manual user management.

The recurring theme

Planhat's SCIM capabilities exist but are hidden behind custom pricing discussions, creating unnecessary friction for IT teams trying to evaluate their identity automation options.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
On Pro/Business plans, need SCIMUse Stitchflow: avoid custom Enterprise pricing negotiations
Already on Enterprise with SCIM includedUse native SCIM: you're paying for it
Small team, infrequent user changesManual may work: but watch for security gaps
Need Enterprise features beyond SCIMEvaluate Enterprise upgrade: SCIM comes bundled
Custom pricing concerns or budget constraintsUse Stitchflow: build complete workflows across every app in less than a week (~2 hours of your time).

The bottom line

Planhat's SCIM requires custom Enterprise pricing, creating budget uncertainty and lengthy procurement cycles. For teams that need provisioning automation without enterprise negotiations, Stitchflow delivers SCIM-level automation at transparent, predictable pricing.

Alteryx

SCIM Tax
SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$9,490/yr

Alteryx supports native SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans with custom pricing (7+ users minimum). The feature requires SSO (SAML or OIDC) to be configured first and completely overrides manual user management. For teams on Professional ($5,000/user/year) or Business ($10,000-$20,000/user/year) plans, accessing SCIM means upgrading to Enterprise - often a significant cost increase for functionality that should be table stakes. This creates a provisioning gap for most Alteryx deployments. Without automated user lifecycle management, IT teams face manual onboarding/offboarding workflows, delayed access provisioning, and compliance risks around orphaned accounts. The high per-user costs make Alteryx particularly expensive to scale, and forcing an Enterprise upgrade just for basic provisioning automation compounds that challenge.

Atlan

SCIM Tax
SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$9,490/yr

Atlan supports native SCIM 2.0 provisioning with full user and group management capabilities. However, SCIM is only available on Enterprise tier, which requires custom pricing negotiations. Additionally, SSO must be enabled before SCIM can be configured, and Atlan's pricing tiers (Starter, Premier, Enterprise) are not publicly disclosed, making cost planning difficult for IT teams. This creates a significant barrier for organizations wanting automated provisioning without committing to enterprise-level contracts. For data teams evaluating Atlan, the lack of transparent pricing means you can't budget for provisioning capabilities upfront. The SSO prerequisite also forces organizations into a specific implementation sequence that may not align with their rollout timeline.

Benchling

SCIM Tax
SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$9,490/yr

Benchling supports SCIM provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans with custom pricing that typically starts at $1M+ annually. This creates a massive barrier: organizations on Professional plans ($20,000+/year) face a 50x+ price increase to unlock automated user provisioning. Even mid-sized life sciences teams end up paying enterprise-level licensing just to automate basic user lifecycle management. The pricing gap is so extreme that most organizations either stick with manual provisioning or delay Benchling adoption entirely. This creates a significant operational burden for IT teams managing researchers across multiple lab environments. Manual user provisioning in a platform that handles sensitive R&D data introduces compliance risks and delays researcher onboarding. When a scientist joins or leaves, IT must manually coordinate access across Benchling's complex permission structure for notebooks, entities, and workflows. For organizations with frequent collaborator access or seasonal research teams, this becomes unmanageable.
