> Companies end up piecing something together that kind of works but creates technical debt or support burden, or they spend thousands of dollars on Auth0 or AWS Cognito

I built something out with Cognito for my current team. I don't like it much, but we're definitely not spending thousands of dollars on it. Have you heard horror stories about its pricing?

From the AWS pricing page (https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/pricing/), you get 50 MAUs with SAML free and then it's $0.015 per user. We haven't had any issues with this - yet.

I do think your solution sounds nicer, but I'm really not sure looking at your pricing that it's cheaper.

Thanks so much for the kind words!

The pricing here is definitely more applicable to Auth0 :)

But for us, charging per user makes predicting the cost of your SAML provider difficult, and everyone seems to do this. We charge per customer account instead - if one of your customers has 50 MAUs it wont cost you more than a customer that has 10. And you won't need to pay us more is your software is a daily driver vs. something thats used lee frequently.

Ah great point, I wasn't thinking about how many users a single customer could potentially have. I'll definitely bring this up if we do end up onboarding more customers using SAML, Cognito is definitely not ideal for admins/documentation.
