A fintech that can't pay $14 per user? How many employees do you have? "hours per quarter" but it's not worth the money? Where's the problem? Either you spend the money on a few hours of work for an intern or you fork over SSO money.

SSO isn't a tax. You either need a single method to disable an account across all providers instantly and enforce password policies globally, or you don't. Do the risk vs reward math and then put the line item in your budget. Get a discount or use a reseller to avoid retail.

It'll be that price multiplied by how many SaaS tools you use, each of which will have some premium for their Enterprise plan supporting SSO, and typically they won't be transparent about what the price is or how to sign up for it, so you'll then have to go through the steps of negotiating an enterprise plan. Spending a few minutes to figure out their API sounds more fun

Why do you need all of these tools?

It’s really a cost/time to market comparison between the SaaS and you just using SharePoint or managing some substitute. If you’re proposing to drop $80 u/m for Airtable, there better be a tight business case.
