The short version

  • Each has a real cost: IAPro a public university's procurement documentation for IAPro (CI Technologies, acquired by Versaterm Public Safety in 2023) states the software is sold as an unlimited-use license covering all concurrent users and workstations with no additional or hidden licensing costs, and the first year of annual maintenance is included free; no dollar figure for that license was disclosed in the document, so total cost is not visible without a direct quote.; Teleport pricing is not published and is described as active users plus protected resources, so an autoscaling estate cannot forecast the bill and finance teams discover the true cost only after the first true-up.
  • They diverge on capability: IAPro covers Case Management, Teleport covers Short-lived certificates.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

IAPro

  • A public university's procurement documentation for IAPro (CI Technologies, acquired by Versaterm Public Safety in 2023) states the software is sold as an unlimited-use license covering all concurrent users and workstations with no additional or hidden licensing costs, and the first year of annual maintenance is included free; no dollar figure for that license was disclosed in the document, so total cost is not visible without a direct quote.

Teleport

  • Pricing is not published and is described as active users plus protected resources, so an autoscaling estate cannot forecast the bill and finance teams discover the true cost only after the first true-up.
  • The proxy is a hard dependency on reaching production, so it needs its own high availability deployment and a tested break-glass path or an outage in Teleport becomes an outage in your ability to respond to outages.
  • The open source Community Edition omits Access Requests, Device Trust and the FIPS builds, which are exactly the controls an auditor asks about, so the free tier rarely survives a compliance review.
  • Self-hosting means running and upgrading a certificate authority and its backing store, and Teleport releases frequently enough that upgrade work becomes a standing operational commitment.
  • Coverage across protocols is uneven in depth, so teams with legacy systems, unusual databases or bespoke network appliances find gaps that still require the old VPN to remain in place alongside it.
