Before you choose
Start with the pricing model
Check the Free plan and Paid from fields together. A free plan can provide a starting path, while the paid figure shows the maker's published entry point when one is listed.
Review the pricing note for trial terms before planning a rollout.
Match your platforms
Confirm support for the surfaces your team uses: web, API, Windows, iOS, Android and Linux. Platform coverage can affect how people sign in and how administrators connect the service.
Compare SSO and MFA
Use the SSO protocols field to check compatibility with your sign-in setup. Compare MFA methods to find an approach that fits the devices and sign-in rules you need to support.
Check account administration
Directory sync and lifecycle provisioning describe how identity records connect to your wider account workflow. Review both fields when you need to keep access changes aligned with directory records.
Review access controls and scale
Adaptive access policies can help match access decisions to your stated requirements. Check Included users alongside the pricing fields so the published plan fits the people you need to cover.
