Why isn't Auth0 on that list? For most enterprise customers SAML is required for SSO. However SAML is locked behind their enterprise plan (and enterprise is stupidly expensive).

On top of that now enterprise plans now require you to pay by connection as well. So if you want to allow multiple customers SSO connections the cost starts increasing drastically.

Auth0's pricing really disappointed us, but we don't have the resource to switch to another vendor at the moment. We're a SaaS who need a few dozen enterprise SAML connections, but each connection only has 5-10 logins per month. Their sales team flat-out told us that our only option is the $25k/year enterprise plan plus more for each connection. It's totally bonkers.
SAML is not that difficult to support in Rails with few Ruby gems; took us a couple of weeks to implement, most of that sorting out various integration snags with customers.

(SaaS with 5 to 500 logins per customer)

I'm pretty sure Rob (the proprietor) takes suggestions.
What exactly is Auth0 used for besides SSO?
