7/10 High

Enterprise SSO connectors cost $125/month per connection as a fixed base fee, making them unaffordable for small SaaS products with 20-30 customers even as the company grows, requiring evaluation of building custom authentication instead.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Clerk for developers in 2025?”4/7/2026

SSO connectors being $125 per month per connection, rules out my target market... As I grow to 20-30 customers I'd be better off hiring a developer to implement the same features.
