Answer · Descope cost by MAU (no SSO)

10k users: $249/mo on Pro · 50k users: $2,049/mo on Growth · 100k users: $4,549/mo on Growth.

As of 2026-10-31, from 25 verified plan rows. SSO users: Amazon Cognito, Supabase Auth and Firebase Auth / Identity Platform bill SAML/OIDC per SSO user, not per connection (first 50 free, then $0.015 per SSO user a month). Their SSO results here assume 200 SSO users per connection (5 connections = 1,000 SSO users). See how 1,000 or 2,000 per connection changes the result or set your own. How we calculate this.
