Native SCIM

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

Native SCIM requires Professional plan

Summary and recommendation

Tettra supports SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only on the Professional plan at $7,200/year (with a 50-user minimum). This creates a significant pricing barrier: teams on Basic or Scaling plans face a massive cost jump just to unlock automated provisioning. For a 20-user team, upgrading from Scaling ($160/month) to Professional ($600/month) represents a 3.75x price increase—$5,280/year in additional licensing costs.

The Professional plan requirement creates a compliance gap for smaller teams. Without SCIM, you're stuck with manual user management: IT admins must remember to provision new hires and deprovision departing employees. SSO with JIT provisioning helps with onboarding, but it can't automatically remove users when they leave—creating security risks with orphaned accounts retaining access to company knowledge.

The strategic alternative

Tettra gates SCIM behind Professional. Skip the Professional 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 Tettra accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

The Tettra pricing problem

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

Plan Structure (Billed Annually)

PlanPriceSSOSCIM
Basic$4/user/mo (10 user min)
Scaling$8/user/mo (10-250 users)
Professional$7,200/year (50+ users)

What this means in practice

The Professional plan represents a dramatic cost increase for most teams:

Current PlanCurrent Annual CostProfessional CostIncrease
Basic (10 users)$480$7,200+$6,720 (+1,400%)
Basic (25 users)$1,200$7,200+$6,000 (+500%)
Scaling (50 users)$4,800$7,200+$2,400 (+50%)

For teams under 50 users, you're forced to pay for unused seats to access SCIM. A 25-person team pays for 50 users whether they need them or not.

Additional constraints

SSO prerequisite
SCIM requires SSO to be enabled first, bundling both features together.
Google Groups conflict
Enabling SSO disables Tettra's Google Groups legacy feature, forcing migration to SCIM-based group management.
All-or-nothing pricing
No middle tier exists between Scaling ($8/user) and Professional ($144/user for first 50 seats).
WorkOS dependency
SCIM implementation relies on third-party WorkOS infrastructure for authentication and provisioning.

Summary of challenges

  • Tettra supports SCIM but only at Pro tier (custom pricing)
  • Google Workspace users get limited SCIM (no group sync)
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What the upgrade actually includes

Tettra doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's bundled with Professional plan features at $7,200/year:

SCIM automated provisioning (create, update, deactivate users)
SAML single sign-on (SSO) via WorkOS
Group sync for permissions management
Advanced admin controls
Priority support
Analytics and reporting features
Custom branding options

The catch: you must enable SSO first to use SCIM, and SSO disables Tettra's legacy Google Groups integration entirely. You're also locked into a 50-user minimum commitment.

Stitchflow Insight

If you just want automated user provisioning for your knowledge base, you're paying $7,200 for enterprise features most teams won't use. We estimate ~80% of Professional plan features are irrelevant for organizations that only need basic user lifecycle management.

What IT admins are saying

Community sentiment on Tettra's SCIM pricing is overwhelmingly critical. Common complaints:

  • The $7,200/year Professional plan requirement just for basic SSO/SCIM access
  • 50-user minimum commitment when many teams only need 10-20 seats
  • Having to pay nearly 20x more than the Basic plan ($4/user/mo) for identity features
  • SSO breaking existing Google Groups integration, forcing workflow changes

It's frustrating that we have to jump from $4/user to essentially $12/user just to get SSO working. Most knowledge base tools include this at much lower tiers.

IT Admin, Reddit

The 50-user minimum on Professional is a killer for smaller teams. We only have 15 people who need Tettra but have to pay for 50 seats.

The recurring theme

Tettra gates essential security features behind an expensive enterprise tier with artificial minimums, making it cost-prohibitive for small to medium teams that need automated provisioning.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
On Basic/Scaling, need SCIMUse Stitchflow: avoid the $7,200/year Professional upgrade
Small team, can't meet 50-user Professional minimumUse Stitchflow: get SCIM without artificial user minimums
Using Google Groups for permissions, need SCIMUse Stitchflow: keep Google Groups functionality while adding automation
Already on Professional planUse native SCIM: you're paying for it already
Manual provisioning working fineStay manual: but monitor for security gaps as you scale

The bottom line

Tettra gates SCIM behind Professional. Stitchflow automates complete workflows without that SCIM Tax upgrade.

Manual Cost$11,754/yr

8x8 supports SCIM 2.0 for automated user provisioning, but only on their quote-based X Series plans (previously $24-44/user/month range before they moved to custom pricing). While SCIM can create, update, and deactivate users, it has critical gaps that create ongoing manual overhead: license assignment must be done manually after every user is provisioned, users can't be deleted (only deactivated), and provisioned users don't automatically appear in the Company Directory. For IT teams managing a unified communications platform that typically covers all employees, these limitations defeat much of SCIM's purpose. You're still manually touching every user account to assign licenses and ensure directory visibility. The lack of user deletion support also creates compliance headaches when employees leave - accounts accumulate as "deactivated" rather than being properly removed.

Learning Management System (LMS)

SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Absorb LMS supports native SCIM provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans with SSO as a required paid add-on. Even with SCIM enabled, the implementation has critical limitations: SAML provisioning only creates accounts on first login and never updates existing users, and full user provisioning requires the specific "Absorb 5 - New Learner Experience" version. For organizations managing compliance training across hundreds or thousands of learners, these gaps create ongoing manual work. The SSO-as-add-on model means you're paying extra fees on top of already custom Enterprise pricing ($6-12/user/month base, but varies significantly). For learning management systems handling external partners, contractors, and employees across different access levels, the inability to update existing user attributes through SAML provisioning forces IT teams into manual account management—exactly what automated provisioning should eliminate.

Spend Management / Corporate Cards

SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$11,754/yr

Airbase supports SCIM provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans starting around $8,500/year. While SCIM works with all major identity providers (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace), the Enterprise requirement creates a significant barrier for smaller finance teams who need automated provisioning for spend management but can't justify enterprise-level spend management software costs. This creates a particular challenge in finance applications where rapid provisioning and deprovisioning is critical for corporate card access and financial controls. Manual user management means delayed access for new employees needing corporate cards, and more critically, potential security gaps when departing employees retain access to spend management systems. For finance teams handling sensitive financial data and corporate spending, these delays and oversights create both operational friction and compliance risks.
