Only 9 include SCIM without an upgrade. The other 98.8% break your automation: - **SCIM Tax apps (42%)** - [Figma](https://www.stitchflow.com/scim/figma), [Adobe](https://www.stitchflow.com/scim/adobe) hiding SCIM behind massive price hikes - **No SCIM apps (57%)** - legacy tools, internal dashboards, no endpoints - **Too New apps** - AI startups that haven't built enterprise features yet Stitchflow unlocks SCIM for any app: <$5K per app, 24/7 human-in-the-loop, 99.5% uptime guarantee. ## The missing infrastructure layer There is a frustrating reality in Identity Governance. You buy a world-class platform like Okta or Entra, and it works perfectly - for the apps that support SCIM on their base tier. We analyzed 721 SaaS apps. Only 9 (1.2%) include SCIM without an upgrade. The other 98.8% break your automation strategy: - **The "[SCIM Tax](https://www.stitchflow.com/blog/scim-tax-provisioning-automation)" apps (42%):** Vendors like Figma or Adobe who [hide SCIM behind massive price hikes](https://www.stitchflow.com/scim/scim-paywalled). - **The "No SCIM" apps (57%):** Legacy tools, internal dashboards, and apps that [never built provisioning endpoints](https://www.stitchflow.com/scim/apps-without-scim). - **The "Too New" apps:** AI startups that haven't built enterprise features yet. ![Stitchflow key unlocking the 98.8% of apps that IdPs cannot automate natively](https://www.stitchflow.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sanity.io%2Fimages%2Fj4v4qlw8%2Fproduction%2Ffad87bbfb0b76ebc1a33a60db3c35fc6a5526cae-1376x768.png%3Fw%3D2000%26q%3D100%26fit%3Dmax%26auto%3Dformat&w=1920&q=75) Your IdP works with 1.2% of apps. Stitchflow unlocks the other 98.8%. For these apps, IT teams are forced back into the dark ages: manual checklists, spreadsheets, and human error. Stitchflow exists to close that gap. We unlock SCIM for any app through [resilient browser automation](https://www.stitchflow.com/blog/resilient-scim-provisioning-uptime). ## How it works We function as a managed bridge. To your IdP, we look like a standard SCIM app. To your target application, we look like a human admin. We connect the two worlds so you can trigger provisioning actions for Stitchflow-connected apps just like you would for native SCIM apps. **The flow:** 1. **Trigger:** You initiate a provisioning or deprovisioning event in your IdP (Okta or Entra). 2. **Action:** A secure, headless browser in our private GCP environment executes the action in the app's UI. The flow is [deterministic](https://www.stitchflow.com/blog/secure-provisioning-automation) - no AI guessing, just rigid, pre-validated logic. 3. **Resilience:** If the UI changes or MFA triggers, our 24/7 Human-in-the-Loop team resolves the anomaly in real-time. 4. **Output:** We return a structured, API-like response (JSON) to your workflow engine, closing the loop. ## Why this is different from RPA Traditional browser automation (RPA) is famous for being brittle. It breaks when a button moves. It fails when a session expires. We solved the resilience problem by treating automation as a [managed service](https://www.stitchflow.com/blog/managed-scim-integration-for-disconnected-apps), not a tool you have to maintain. - **99.5% Uptime Guarantee:** We monitor every run. If it breaks, we fix it. - **<15 Minute Recovery:** Our on-call engineers intervene immediately to handle anomalies. - **Enterprise Security:** We are SOC 2 Type II certified. All data is encrypted with AES-256, and every run is video-recorded for audit purposes. ## The economics of 100% automation The barrier to automating these apps has always been cost. You couldn't justify paying an extra $100,000/year for the "Enterprise Plan" just to get SCIM. We changed the math. - **Flat Pricing:** We charge less than $5,000 per app/year. That is a fraction of the cost of the enterprise upgrade - and less than half what manual provisioning costs ([~$12,000 per app per year](https://www.stitchflow.com/blog/manual-saas-management-costs-click-ops) based on data from 27 organizations). - **Pay on Delivery:** You integrate only the apps that matter to you. There are no platform minimums. - **Maintenance Included:** The price includes the 24/7 monitoring and maintenance. You never have to debug a script. ## Stop accepting the gap You don't have to choose between manual work and extortionate vendor pricing. Stitchflow gives you the security of an API and the flexibility of a human, at a price that fits your budget. Get SCIM for every app. [Book a Demo →](https://www.stitchflow.com/demo)
