Casdoor vs WorkOS
Enterprise SSO and SCIM without per-connection fees
WorkOS sells enterprise features to B2B SaaS companies: its AuthKit login is free to a million MAU, and each SSO or directory sync connection is billed monthly. Casdoor is open source and includes SAML, OIDC and SCIM connections in every plan.

Why teams choose Casdoor
Connections don't cost extra
Onboard your tenth or hundredth enterprise customer's SAML or SCIM connection without a new line on your bill.
Organizations built in
Give each customer its own organization with its own identity providers, users, roles and admins.
Run it anywhere
The same Apache-2.0 code runs in our cloud or on your servers, and you can move between them.
Authorization included
Casbin RBAC, ABAC and ACL are built in, instead of being left to your code.
When WorkOS may fit better
- You have a large consumer user base and few enterprise connections, so AuthKit's free tier covers most of your usage.
- You want your customers' IT admins to configure SSO themselves through WorkOS's hosted Admin Portal.
Moving from WorkOS to Casdoor
Export your users and recreate each customer's SSO and SCIM connection as an identity provider in Casdoor, then switch apps to Casdoor's OIDC endpoints. Casdoor can verify bcrypt, Argon2id, PBKDF2 and salted SHA-256 / SHA-512 password hashes, so imported users can keep their passwords.
