Okta plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Suite | $6/user/month | 5 | Entry tier |
| Core Essentials Suite | $14/user/month | 4 | +$8/user/month, 4 more features |
| Essentials Suite | $17/user/month | 2 | +$3/user/month, 2 more features |
| Professional Suite | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
| Enterprise | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Okta in for employee sso, customer identity, b2b integration, zero trust security, compliance. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Okta are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Okta
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 5 tiers between $6/user/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Okta runs on web, saas, and is published by Okta Inc of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Okta review.
Okta pricing questions
- How much does Okta cost?
- Okta publishes 5 tiers, from $6/user/month for Starter Suite up to On request for Enterprise. The entry tier costs nothing.
- Does Okta have a free plan?
- Yes, Okta is recorded as free, so it can be used without paying.
- What is the difference between Starter Suite and Core Essentials Suite on Okta?
- Core Essentials Suite costs $14/user/month against $6/user/month, and adds adaptive mfa, privileged access, lifecycle management, 50 workflows.
- Is the Enterprise plan on Okta worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is api access management, access gateway, machine-to-machine tokens. It costs On request against $6/user/month for Starter Suite. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Okta?
- The record lists 28 features across 6 areas: core, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for employee sso, customer identity, b2b integration.
- Does Okta charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 5 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Okta prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Okta against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Okta to make a useful price comparison.
