# WorkOS

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/auth/workos/

Enterprise-readiness platform selling SSO, directory sync and audit logs per connection, with user management free to a million users.

## Who it suits

B2B products where the enterprise features are the product requirement — a million users cost nothing and you pay only for the connections your customers actually use.

Consider something else if Those connections are the most expensive here at $125 a month each, so a long tail of small SSO customers costs more than it does at Clerk or Better Auth.
