Overview
WorkOS packages the 'enterprise-ready' checklist — SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM directory sync, audit logs, and an admin portal — as developer-friendly APIs, with AuthKit adding hosted authentication. It is aimed squarely at B2B SaaS teams selling upmarket who need enterprise connectors fast.
Best for
B2B SaaS companies that need to add enterprise SSO and SCIM quickly to close upmarket deals, and prefer per-connection pricing over per-user.
Consider alternatives if
You need a full B2C consumer identity stack with broad social login and large-scale MAU features beyond the enterprise-connector use case.

- Admin Portal offloads enterprise setup to your customers

Considerations
- Less oriented to high-volume B2C consumer identity

- Per-connection model can add up across many enterprise customers
