Pricing Analysis
Overview
If you're already paying for M365 E3 or E5, Entra ID is included at no extra cost - this is the real story. Standalone pricing starts at $6/user/month for P1 and climbs for P2 (Conditional Access, PIM). The free tier exists but lacks the features that actually matter for security teams.
Cost Per User
Which Plan Is Right for You?
Basic SSO for up to 10 apps. Fine for tiny orgs or testing but you'll hit limitations fast with no Conditional Access.
Included in M365 E3 - this is where most enterprises should land. Gets you Conditional Access and self-service password reset.
Adds Privileged Identity Management and Identity Protection. Worth it if you've been hit by a breach or are in a regulated industry. Included in M365 E5.
vs. Category Average
33% below the identity & access management average
Our Verdict
Best deal in IAM if you're Microsoft-heavy. Pure Microsoft shops are getting Entra basically for free compared to Okta or Ping Identity. If you're not in M365, the value proposition is less obvious.
