Authentik: pricing 2026
Open-source, self-hosted by default. Free Community tier covers all core IdP features. Enterprise adds dedicated support; Enterprise Plus adds FIPS and multi-instance for regulated industries. Below ~30 internal seats, self-hosted Community is the cheapest credible IdP. Above that, the operational burden usually justifies a commercial alternative.
