This looks very cool! Having implemented SAML before, it was definitely a pain and your tooling looks painless!

That said, the pricing worries me a bit. This is a tool we'd have to build on top of. Which means that if it disappears later because you went out of business (or just changed your pricing in some way that hosed us), we'd have a whole big, unexpected engineering project to rewrite our SSO.

And given that you're giving a hosted product away for free, it seems pretty likely that you will either eventually go out of business or change your pricing.

I know it sounds silly, but as someone who'll probably have to add SSO to my current project in the next 6-12 months, I'd be a lot more comfortable betting on you if you had a sustainable-sounding paid tier other than "free for now" and "idk email us." It'd certainly make it easier to pitch to the rest of my team. :)

The SSO tax[1] already exists. It sucks: Gating security features, best practices and automation when someone is already your customer is terrible. But it's the status quo, and in that status quo people that need SAML in their company probably should pay at least half as much as they pay for this single feature in a single one of their SaaS apps.
