The downside is that Okta pricing (https://www.okta.com/pricing/) appears to be per User, instead of usage based (per API call) the way Stormpath is. This will make a migration much tougher. Auth0 appears to have better pricing imho (https://auth0.com/pricing).

Alex (Stormpath CEO) here - we're working on self-service developer pricing for Okta. We're announcing the news before pricing was baked so our customers and users could have as much transparency as we could offer, as early as we could offer it.

I'm a big believer in clear, transparent pricing that works for all customers. Please stay tuned.

Thanks Alex, I appreciate that. Is it your plan to launch self-service pricing prior to the API shutdown at Stormpath? I'm hoping yes so that it is as painless as possible.

Yes. It's currently my highest priority and we're making good progress. It won't be perfect of course but it will be a good first start. I don't have a date for you, though, but our goal is ASAP.

Don't forget about Passport. It has solid pricing and more features than most of the APIs out there. (https://www.inversoft.com/products/identity-user-management). Even though Passport is per user, the prices are much better than Okta.
