I’m honestly baffled this is a thing (but appreciate learning the condemning phrasing of “SSO Tax”).
We implemented federated auth support for Entra, ADFS, and OIDC straight out the gate in our project. It’s just a base platform feature, regardless of tier. Charging for it would be like charging for MFA/2FA. I mean, it’s great for us. I’d prefer if everyone used the feature. What the utter fuck are some vendors thinking?
I suspect it’s a cost/capability/requirements thing.
The larger the corporation, the more likely they’re going to have SSO as a minimum requirement. The more inflexible your customers are, the more you can charge.
Maybe if slack didn’t have an SSO tax, it wouldn’t be an issue.

Tell me about it. Github goes from $4 to $21 per user per month, and the only feature I want is sso.
