About

Enterprise SSO and directory sync. B2B-focused auth platform: SAML, SCIM, OIDC, magic auth, audit logs. Free for the first million MAU on AuthKit.

What it does

WorkOS gives applications a single API for enterprise identity features: authenticating employees through their company's identity provider, syncing user records from corporate directories, and letting IT administrators configure the connection themselves through a hosted portal, with SDKs covering several backend languages.

Stated on the product site

Interfaces: Provides a REST API returning normalized JSON objects, alongside a dashboard for managing the integration
Platform / SDKs: Ships SDKs for multiple backend languages rather than a single-language library
Integrations: Supports SCIM-based provisioning against named enterprise directory providers
Deployment model: The IT-admin-facing setup portal can be hosted under the customer's own domain
Pricing model: A customer testimonial describes WorkOS pricing as based on the number of connections rather than usage volume
