One Identity pricing
One Identity publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 1 September 2026, One Identity pricing is on request across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

One Identity 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identity Manager | On request | 4 | Entry tier |
| Safeguard | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Active Roles | 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.
Identity Manager
On requestThe entry tier. It covers priced per managed identity, on premises or hosted, access certification and provisioning, perpetual and subscription options historically offered.
Safeguard
On requestOver Identity Manager, this tier adds:
- Priced per privileged user or per appliance
- Hardened appliance option for session management
- Licensed separately from Identity Manager
Active Roles
On requestOver Safeguard, this tier adds:
- Priced per managed Active Directory account
- Delegated administration and automated provisioning
- Licensed separately
What the product covers
The full One Identity feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- syslog-ng
- Starling connectors
People bring One Identity in for an organisation whose authoritative directory will remain on premises active directory and needs delegated administration with attribute-level control, a government or defence environment requiring privileged session management on a hardened physical appliance rather than a cloud service, a manufacturer with sap and active directory needing provisioning governed under one certification process, an enterprise consolidating active directory after an acquisition and needing automated account lifecycle across both forests. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to One Identity are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Cybersecurity
Too few cybersecurity tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

| One Identity (this page) | On request | quote | - | |
| Hanwha Vision | On request | One-time purchase | - | vs One Identity |
| BeyondTrust | On request | quote | - | vs One Identity |

| IDnow | On request | quote | - | vs One Identity |
| Eagle Eye Networks | On request | Per camera per month | - | vs One Identity |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the One Identity badges page.
Before you pay for One Identity
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: 3 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare One Identity against the tools that do have one before committing.
One Identity runs on web, windows, linux, and is published by One Identity, a Quest Software business of Aliso Viejo, California, United States. The full record is on the One Identity review, and the rest of the category is under best cybersecurity tools.
