Summary and recommendation
StackAdapt supports native SCIM provisioning, but only through Okta integration and likely requires their Enterprise tier (estimated at ~$30,000/month for 100 users). While the Okta integration includes advanced features like Group Push and Schema Discovery, this creates a significant barrier: teams using Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace, or other identity providers are completely locked out of automated provisioning, forcing manual user management for an expensive programmatic advertising platform.
The real-world impact is substantial. Marketing teams using StackAdapt handle sensitive campaign data and substantial ad spend budgets. Without automated deprovisioning when employees leave, you're left with orphaned accounts that retain access to campaigns, budgets, and performance data. Manual processes create compliance gaps and security risks that scale poorly as your marketing organization grows.
The strategic alternative
StackAdapt gates SCIM behind Contact Sales. Skip the Contact Sales 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 StackAdapt accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The StackAdapt pricing problem
StackAdapt gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Tier comparison
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | ~$500/mo (1 user) | ||
| Pro | ~$4,000/mo (10 users) | ||
| Enterprise | ~$30,000/mo (100 users) |
Plan Structure
| Plan | Price | SCIM |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | ~$500/mo (1 user) | ❌ |
| Pro | ~$4,000/mo (10 users) | ❌ |
| Enterprise | ~$30,000/mo (100 users) | ✓ |
Note: StackAdapt uses custom pricing based on advertising spend and team size. SCIM provisioning is only available at the Enterprise tier.
What this means in practice
The jump to Enterprise pricing for SCIM access creates substantial cost increases:
| Current Plan | Enterprise Upgrade Cost | Annual Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Pro (10 users) | +$26,000/mo | +$312,000/year |
| Mid-tier (50 users) | Contact for pricing | $400,000+/year estimated |
These calculations reflect the significant pricing gap between Pro and Enterprise tiers, driven by StackAdapt's advertiser-focused pricing model.
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- StackAdapt supports SCIM but only at Unknown tier (Custom (~$30,000/mo for 100 users))
- 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
StackAdapt doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's bundled with their Enterprise tier and comes with:
The reality: StackAdapt's SCIM only works with Okta, leaving Microsoft Entra and Google Workspace customers without automated provisioning options. Even if you're on Okta, you're forced into Enterprise pricing (~$30,000/month for 100 users) just to get basic user lifecycle management.
Stitchflow Insight
If you need comprehensive campaign management tools anyway, the upgrade makes sense. If you just want automated user provisioning that works with any IdP, you're paying enterprise prices for a limited, single-vendor solution. We estimate ~80% of Enterprise features are irrelevant for teams that only need reliable SCIM provisioning across all major identity providers.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment on StackAdapt's SCIM limitations is mixed, with particular frustration around platform restrictions. Common complaints:
- SCIM provisioning only works through Okta, leaving Entra ID and Google Workspace users without options
- No documented Microsoft integration despite enterprise pricing tiers
- Custom pricing model makes it difficult to budget for identity management features
- Lack of clear documentation on SCIM capabilities and requirements
We're paying enterprise prices but can't get basic provisioning to work with our Microsoft environment. Had to fall back to manual user management.
StackAdapt's Okta integration works fine, but we're an Entra shop. Would love to see them expand beyond just one IdP.
The recurring theme
StackAdapt's SCIM support is platform-dependent, creating provisioning gaps for organizations not using Okta as their primary identity provider.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| On Pro plan (~$4K/mo), need SCIM | Use Stitchflow: avoid the 7.5x jump to Enterprise |
| Using non-Okta IdP (Entra, Google Workspace, OneLogin) | Use Stitchflow: native SCIM only works with Okta |
| Already on Enterprise with Okta | Use native SCIM: you're paying $30K+/mo, use what's included |
| Need Enterprise features beyond SCIM | Evaluate Enterprise: SCIM comes bundled with the tier |
| Small team, infrequent user changes | Manual may work: but watch for access sprawl as you scale |
