Compare enterprise SSO and SCIM building blocks against an end-to-end auth platform with prebuilt user flows.
Clerk is the right starting point for B2C and early B2B — you get the full signup, session, and account UI without writing it. WorkOS is the right add-on the moment you start closing enterprise deals that demand SAML, SCIM, and audit logs; if your roadmap looks like Clerk-first-then-enterprise, a common pattern is to layer WorkOS in for the enterprise tier rather than rip-and-replace.
