The 98% SCIM gap
We analyzed 552 SaaS applications to answer one question:
Is manual provisioning your fault, or the vendor's?
The data nobody wants to publish
Every IdP vendor promises the same thing: "Connect your apps. Automate provisioning. Secure your organization."
Then you try to automate your actual stack. The reality? Out of 552 applications analyzed, only 11 offer native SCIM without an Enterprise upgrade.
The 2.0% club (Open SCIM)
SCIM availability across 552 apps
Manual management required. No automation possible natively.
Locked behind "Enterprise" pricing (2-3x markup).
Available on standard plans.
The gap by department
Not all teams suffer equally. Finance and Marketing tools are the worst offenders, leaving huge gaps in offboarding security.

SCIM is not technically difficult. The protocol has existed since 2011. Vendors don't withhold it because they can't build it—they withhold it because it's profitable.
The upsell trap
Vendors use SCIM as a "feature gate" to force mid-market companies into Enterprise contracts. It's often bundled with audit logs and SSO, justifying a 200-300% price increase.
The "free tier" funnel
Mass-market tools land cheap with free tiers to get adoption. Once usage spreads, IT needs to manage it. That's when the "Enterprise Tax" hits.
Stop paying the enterprise tax.
You don't need to upgrade to Enterprise to get automation. Stitchflow connects your IdP (Okta or Entra) to the "unsupported" 98% of apps, giving you SCIM-like provisioning on the plan you're already on.
