Azure AD Identity Provider Costs almost as much as Confluence. Why?

Azure AD Identity Provider Costs almost as much as Confluence. Why?  We have 160 users and our annual Confluence cost is roughly 12K per year.  At a cost of $4/user/Month to have an identity provider, our annual cost for SSO appears to be just less than 8K per year.  Couple that with the fact that every other SAAS solution that we use, there is no SSO upcharge and here the upcharge is an additional 66%.

Appreciate the reply.  I will look into using the Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on for Confluence

The $4 per user referenced was if one enabled the Microsoft Azure AD Identity Provider from the Security --> Identity Provider menu option.

Hi Kevin - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There are a variety of vendors providing SSO connections for Atlassian products. I suggest you check out the Atlassian Marketplace.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. Maybe give one of those others a try.
