How does WorkOS pricing work?
The value metric is the connection. The FAQ defines it: 'Each enterprise customer you support with SSO or Directory Sync is counted as one connection', billed the same 'regardless of the identity provider (IdP), directory service used, or the total number of end users'. WorkOS sells enterprise readiness, so its meter lands on the same event as its customer's revenue: a new enterprise logo is a new connection. The other modules meter what each product consumes. AuthKit is free 'Up to 1 million users' then '$2,500 / mo' per additional million, Audit Logs bills '$125 / mo' per SIEM connection and '$99 / mo' per million events stored, Radar gives the 'First 1,000 checks Free' then '$100 / mo' per 50k, and Custom Domain is a flat '$99 / mo'.
Two commercial modes carry the packaging, and every buyer gets the full product. Pay as you go, 'For teams that need speed and flexibility with pricing that scales', lists 'Automatic volume discounts' and 'First 1 million active users free' with a 'View pricing' button, and Annual Credits, 'For teams focused on growth and support with predictable pricing', adds 'Pre-pay credit discounts', a '99.99% uptime SLA' and guided onboarding behind 'Schedule a call'. 'Estimate your costs' fills the middle of the page. Then come a second Annual credits band, Support SLAs across three levels, a 24-logo POWERED BY WORKOS wall, a 'Batteries included' grid of ten auth features available for all accounts, a FAQ, and 'Why WorkOS?' on expanding into the enterprise market.
The volume ladder is published in full: '1-15 $125 / ea', '16-30 20% off $100 / ea', '31-50 36% off $80 / ea' and '51-100 48% off $65 / ea', with 'Need additional scale? Talk to us' above that. Each band is a marginal rate, which the slider shows as '0 × $125', '0 × $100' and so on, so the price per connection falls as a customer's enterprise book grows. Annual Credits sits above pay as you go as a prepaid commitment. That points to a credit balance drawn down across every module, with the discount negotiated against the size of the prepayment. A published marginal ladder plus prepaid credits gives self-serve buyers a known curve and large buyers room to negotiate.

Socure
$0.80 per evaluationSocure prices identity verification per evaluation, and each evaluation is a bundle of named checks: $0.80 for document verification, $0.90 with a watchlist screen, $1.00 for KYC, fraud and watchlist with a document step-up, and $1.30 with prefill added. Socure Launch tops that with $1,000 in free credits every month, and Socure Enterprise moves to volume and spend-based pricing for the full RiskOS platform.
Auth0
$35/mo (up to 500 MAU)Auth0 prices customer identity on monthly active users, and a three-part configurator, B2C or B2B, Monthly or Yearly, and an MAU slider from 500 to 30,000+, reprices the cards live. Free carries 'Up to 25,000 monthly active users' with 'No credit card needed to sign up', and the paid plans start at $35 a month and $240 a month at 500 MAU and scale with the slider. Feature depth, from MFA to AI agent security, separates the plans.
Clerk
$25/mo ($20/mo annual)Clerk charges a base plan fee, $25/mo for Pro and $300/mo for Business ($20 and $250 billed annually), plus usage on monthly retained users above 50,000 per app. It prints the rate card in detail: MRU bands from $0.02 down to $0.012 a month each, SSO and Directory Sync connections on a ladder from '$75/mo each' to '$48/mo each' before '251+ Contact us', a new Protect add-on at '10,000 free per month, then $0.002 per check' with its own slider, and a 0.7% Billing fee stacked on Stripe's. The metric itself is the idea to study: a user counts once they return 24+ hours after signing up.
