Not necessarily, there are actually 3 options: Buy vs Build vs Use OSS :) > https://github.com/boxyhq/jackson

"Use OSS" is very close to if not the same as "Build".

To adopt an OSS approach for SSO, the startup still needs to dedicate resources to researching the OSS options, deploying the OSS, integrating it, and most importantly, operating it.

Once the startup gets into the weeds of integrating SSO functionality with customer's IdPs, in the limit, the cost of the effort will start to approach "Build".
