Workforce SSO without per-module pricing.

OneLogin (now part of One Identity) prices per user, per month, with the workforce-identity capabilities most organizations want spread across plan tiers and add-on modules. The base plan looks affordable; the number that matters is what it costs once you add the modules you actually need.

As of 2026, OneLogin's published workforce pricing scales roughly like this:

Figures reflect OneLogin's published list pricing as of 2026 (onelogin.com/product/pricing); typically billed annually. Customer Identity (CIAM) plans and the Enterprise tier are quote-only, and OneLogin Workflows is a separate $2/user/month add-on.

The per-user, per-module structure is what drives the real cost. Each employee is a recurring charge, and the advanced capabilities — adaptive MFA, lifecycle automation, HR-driven provisioning — push you into higher plans or paid add-ons. As headcount and requirements grow, so does the bill, on two axes at once.

Worse, several of the capabilities larger organizations depend on — API Access Management, LDAP sync, delegated administration, and Customer Identity (CIAM) — sit in the quote-only Enterprise tier, so the headline per-user numbers rarely reflect what an enterprise rollout actually costs.

Keycloak provides workforce SSO, MFA, LDAP/Active Directory integration, and brokering with no per-user fee and no module gating — every capability is part of the same open-source platform. Cost is driven by the infrastructure it runs on, not your employee count.

Phase Two managed hosting keeps that spend fixed as your workforce grows. See a side-by-side pricing estimate vs. OneLogin.

A strong advantage of OneLogin is that it's a managed service. From a DevOps perspective, it requires minimal maintenance — the OneLogin team handles updates, security patches, and infrastructure, keeping the system up to date. This comes at a cost, though, since customization is comparatively limited.

Self-hosted Keycloak requires more attention: organizations must allocate resources for installing, configuring, and updating the software, as well as managing the underlying infrastructure. This can be a drawback for teams without the necessary expertise. Phase Two removes this trade-off entirely: with managed hosting and zero-downtime upgrades, you get Keycloak's control without the operational load.

OneLogin covers the workforce-identity essentials: SSO with a large app catalog, MFA (including its SmartFactor adaptive auth), a cloud directory, and lifecycle/provisioning — with deeper capabilities available as add-on modules. It's a capable, established access-management product.

Keycloak matches the core — SSO, MFA, directory federation via LDAP and Active Directory, and brokering — and adds fine-grained authorization (RBAC/ABAC) and fully themeable login. Being open source, every capability is included and extensible rather than gated behind modules.

Winner: Keycloak

The two are comparable on workforce SSO; Keycloak delivers it without per-module pricing and with a far higher customization ceiling.

OneLogin is a reasonable fit for organizations that want a turnkey workforce SSO product and accept per-user, per-module pricing. For teams that want to avoid module gating, need on-premise or data-residency control, or want predictable cost as headcount grows, Keycloak is the more flexible and economical choice.

Phase Two runs Keycloak with enterprise hosting and 24/7 support, giving you workforce identity on open standards — without per-user licensing or vendor lock-in.
