Pricing examples
The following table includes example Identity Platform usage patterns for three variations of applications and services, and the potential cost per month.

The above examples demonstrate the following common usage trends:
- Consumer Applications usually rely on users that sign up and sign in with credentials from social providers, or users created directly in Identity Platform using phone and email authentication. You might also want to make use of anonymous users who are testing your application and can be upgraded to full user accounts to maintain their state and user identifier. The above example also uses an SMS one-time password to sign in to the application.
- Enterprise SaaS Services usually use federation to sign in to the service because organizations want to maintain centralized and organizational control of their identities. The above example still has some users who sign up for accounts within the Identity Platform service, but there are a large number of users who are using OIDC for federation. There are also some users who are using SAML federation.
- Hybrid Services are a blend of customers, partners, employees, and anyone else who needs access to an application or service. The example above has a broad mix of sign-in methods by the creation of local accounts and the use of enterprise federation technologies like SAML and OIDC.
