10 Zluri Alternatives in 2026 for Mid-Market IT Teams

10 Zluri alternatives ranked for IT teams at 100–500 employees — no identity engineer required. Published pricing, setup times, honest cons.

If you're evaluating Zluri for a 100–500 employee company and finding it's quote-based, demo-gated, and built for identity teams you don't have — here are 10 alternatives ranked by fit for mid-market IT operators. Zluri was founded in 2020 and has repositioned in 2026 as an "Identity Security for Autonomous Enterprises" platform, now combining Identity Visibility and Intelligence, IGA, ISPM, and SaaS Management under one unified product with IRIS (its Identity Risk Intelligence System) as the AI backbone. That's a powerful stack — for a team with a Director of IAM to run it. Most mid-market IT operators have one or two IT people, no dedicated identity function, and a SaaS stack that still has Google Sheets in it. Zluri has 300+ out-of-the-box connectors. KINT is the only alternative in this category that publishes per-employee pricing on the website and offers self-serve OAuth setup in under five minutes. The alternatives below each fit a different scenario. Including when Zluri itself is the right call.

TL;DR

• Zluri is a full identity security platform — IGA, ISPM, SaaS management, autonomous governance — built for enterprises with identity teams. No published pricing. Demo required. Right call above 500 employees with dedicated IAM staff.
• KINT is the only alternative with published per-employee pricing ($3–$5/emp/month) and self-serve OAuth setup. Built for the 100–500 employee team where IT is one or two people.
• BetterCloud was acquired by CoreStack in March 2026. If you're in a renewal conversation, get roadmap clarity before committing.
• JumpCloud publishes pricing but asks you to replace your directory — a different architectural decision than picking a lifecycle overlay.
• Torii, ConductorOne, Cerby, Stitchflow, CloudEagle, Josys each solve adjacent problems at different price points and buyer profiles — write-ups below.

How We Ranked These

This list is ordered by fit for the primary reader: an IT operator at a 100–500 employee company — often one or two IT people, no dedicated identity engineer, a SaaS stack that mixes API-friendly and browser-only apps.

The ranking weights four things: self-serve setup (can you start without a sales cycle), published pricing (can you build a business case without a five-week procurement motion), ICP fit (is the tool designed for your size or scaled down from enterprise), and non-SCIM coverage (does it handle the apps that lack provisioning APIs — a real gap in the mid-market stack).

KINT leads on all four. That said, we've included a "When Zluri is the right choice" section below. If a different tool is genuinely better for your situation, this list should surface that.

The 10 Alternatives

1. KINT (by Kingsley Integrators)

KINT is an HR-driven identity lifecycle platform built for 100–500 employee companies. It automates joiner, mover, and leaver access events across SaaS apps — reading from your HRMS, triggering workflows, and producing SOC 2 CC6 audit evidence as a byproduct. Setup is OAuth, under five minutes. Every action is Ed25519-signed, timestamped, and exportable in three clicks.

KINT (by Kingsley Integrators) is an HR-driven identity lifecycle automation platform for companies with 100–500 employees. It automates onboarding, role changes, and offboarding across SaaS apps — including the apps without APIs, via browser automation — and produces SOC 2 CC6 audit evidence as a byproduct. Pricing is published per employee per month ($3 Starter, $5 Growth). Self-serve signup at kingsleyint.com.

Pricing: Starter $3/employee/month (100–250 employees, 50+ live API and SCIM connectors). Growth $5/employee/month (250–500 employees, all 200+ mapped connectors, browser automation up to 5 apps, access intelligence, MCP/AI integration). Custom for 500+. Annual prepay saves 15%. Full pricing.

Founding offer: $1.50/employee/month, 12-month lock, for the first five customers in exchange for case-study collaboration. 3 spots remaining as of this writing.

Pros: Only platform in this category with per-employee pricing published on the website. 14-day free trial, no card, no auto-conversion. SOC 2 CC6.1/CC6.2/CC6.3 audit evidence built into every workflow — not a bolt-on. HR-driven: works without an IdP, runs alongside one if you have it.

Cons: Early-stage — 50+ live API and SCIM connectors today (200+ mapped in the catalogue, more shipping monthly). Zero paying customers at launch; you'd be a design partner, with the founding offer to match. Purpose-built for 100–500 employees; not designed for 1,000+ or for organisations with dedicated IAM teams.

Free trial: 14 days, no card. Self-serve: app.kingsleyint.com/signup. Head-to-head: KINT vs Zluri.

2. BetterCloud (acquired by CoreStack, March 31, 2026)

BetterCloud was a SaaS management and IT automation platform built primarily for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 IT workflows. On March 31, 2026, CoreStack acquired BetterCloud to create what it calls the "Agentic Governance OS" — a unified control plane spanning cloud infrastructure, SaaS management, and AI governance. CoreStack's Raj Kunnath is now President of BetterCloud; Jesse Levin, the founder, stepped down.

Best for: Mid-to-large IT teams (250–2,000 employees) already running Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 who need deep workflow automation around those platforms. Existing customers approaching renewal should get clarity on the combined roadmap before committing.

Pricing: Quote-only. Market intelligence suggests $15–25/user/year for mid-market contracts, but post-acquisition pricing is not yet publicly clear.

Pros: Deep Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 workflow automation — one of the most mature capability sets for those platforms. 2,000+ customers and partners across the combined entity, managing $35B in SaaS spend.

Cons: CoreStack acquisition creates real roadmap uncertainty for the standalone SaaS management module. No published pricing; no self-serve.

3. Lumos

Lumos is an autonomous identity platform targeting enterprise security teams. In March 2026, Lumos reportedly launched Identity Security Agents (Identity Security Agents are in waitlist access; Identity Intelligence is GA) — AI agents that don't just surface risk, they act on access. Lumos positions itself as "the first Autonomous Identity Platform."

Best for: Enterprises with 500+ employees, a dedicated security team, and hundreds of app integrations in scope. Teams that want AI-driven access governance with autonomous remediation configured by security engineers.

Pricing: Quote-only. Enterprise contracts start at an estimated $50K+/year. Demo required.

Pros: Genuinely differentiated — agents can execute remediation steps, not just alert. Broad enterprise coverage. Strong access governance for compliance-driven buyers.

Cons: Built for teams with an identity engineer to govern the AI agents. No self-serve, no published pricing, no free trial. Identity Security Agents are in waitlist access — verify current GA status before including in an evaluation.

The philosophical difference from KINT: Lumos says "AI acts on access." KINT says "human in the loop — mutations need approval." Which you want depends on whether you have the engineering capacity to govern autonomous access decisions safely.

4. Torii

Torii is a SaaS management platform focused on workflow automation, app discovery, shadow IT detection, and renewal management. It has held real estate in "Zluri alternatives" SERPs for years and is consistently named in mid-market SaaS management evaluations.

Best for: IT and ops teams at 100–500 employees who want deep workflow customisation, strong SaaS discovery, and a mature renewal layer — and are willing to go through a sales process.

Pricing: Three tiers (Basic, Professional, Enterprise). No published pricing. Quote-based.

Pros: Mature SaaS discovery and shadow IT detection. Flexible workflow builder for custom onboarding and offboarding flows. Strong renewal calendar and contract management.

Cons: No published pricing; procurement motion required. No self-serve. No native SOC 2 CC6 audit evidence mapping — Torii produces logs but CC6-specific mapping requires manual work.

5. ConductorOne (C1)

ConductorOne — now branded as C1, operating at c1.ai — raised $79M in Series B funding in October 2025, led by Greycroft with CrowdStrike Falcon Fund as a strategic investor. C1 focuses on access governance, just-in-time (JIT) access, and increasingly, governing access by AI tools and MCP connections.

Best for: Enterprise security teams (200+ employees with a dedicated IAM function) who need fine-grained access governance, JIT access, and structured access review automation.

Pricing: Quote-only. Customers include Zscaler, Ramp, and DoorDash — signals enterprise-tier pricing.

Pros: $79M in fresh capital means product depth and support. Among the most mature access governance platforms in the mid-to-enterprise market. Now covers AI tool access governance — relevant as AI agents with their own credentials proliferate.

Cons: Built for the IAM team at a scaling enterprise, not the IT operator running a 150-person company. No self-serve, no published pricing, no free trial. JIT access governance solves a different primary problem than HR-driven lifecycle — C1 governs access requests and approvals; KINT triggers lifecycle events from HR.

6. JumpCloud

JumpCloud is a cloud directory platform — a full directory replacement, not an overlay. It handles authentication, SSO, device management, and user lifecycle from a centralised cloud IdP. One of two platforms on this list with published pricing.

Best for: Teams that want to replace their existing directory (or that have no directory yet) with a cloud-native platform that handles both identity and device management from one place.

Pricing: Published. Ranges from ~$9/user/month (Device Management) to ~$24/user/month (Platform Prime), billed annually. 30-day free trial. Verify current tiers at jumpcloud.com/pricing before quoting.

The critical framing distinction: JumpCloud wants to be your directory. Zluri, BetterCloud, KINT, and most alternatives here sit on top of the directory you already have. If you want to replace your directory foundation, JumpCloud is worth serious evaluation. If you want lifecycle automation layered on your existing Google or Microsoft stack without rebuilding your identity architecture — it's a different category.

Pros: Published pricing (rare in IAM). Self-serve trial. Strong device management alongside identity. No per-module charges.

Cons: Requires architectural commitment to replace your existing directory. At $9–$13/user/month depending on tier, higher per-user cost than KINT at mid-market scale. No native SOC 2 CC6 evidence mapping.

7. Stitchflow

Stitchflow provides managed SaaS lifecycle workflows — they build and run the onboarding and offboarding automations for your company. Stitchflow has shifted its primary focus to offboarding in recent months. The key distinction: this is a service they operate for you, not software you operate yourself.

Best for: IT teams at 50–500 employees that would rather have someone else build and maintain offboarding workflows than own a self-managed platform. A good fit if you don't want to manage tooling.

Pricing: Quote-only.

Pros: Done-for-you model removes the operational burden. Covers non-SCIM apps through managed browser-based workflows. Recognised consistently in "Zluri alternatives" SERPs.

Cons: You don't control the platform — Stitchflow runs workflows on your behalf, which means less direct auditability. No self-serve. Offboarding is the primary focus; full joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle is not the core pitch. No SOC 2 CC6 evidence model equivalent.

8. Cerby

Cerby specialises in lifecycle management for "nonstandard applications" — the apps that don't have SCIM, SAML, or provisioning APIs. Founded in 2020, Cerby uses browser automation and credential brokering to manage access for these apps. It's the most technically focused platform on this list for the non-SCIM edge case.

Best for: Security and IT teams that have already solved SCIM-compatible app provisioning and need to close the gap specifically on browser-only or API-less apps.

Pricing: Quote-only. Enterprise-tier pricing reported by buyers.

Pros: The most technically differentiated product in the non-SCIM sub-category. Browser automation and credential brokering give access coverage where no API exists. Well-regarded in the sysadmin community for this specific problem.

Cons: Point solution — Cerby solves the non-SCIM edge case but doesn't cover standard JML lifecycle automation. You'd likely need Cerby plus a lifecycle platform, not Cerby instead of one. No published pricing; no self-serve; no SOC 2 CC6 evidence model.

Overlap with KINT: KINT's browser automation covers Adobe Admin Console today, with Figma, Canva, Notion, and Miro in progress. Cerby's scope is the non-standard app problem specifically. If your entire problem is disconnected apps with no APIs, Cerby is more specialized. If you need full JML lifecycle plus SOC 2 evidence plus some browser automation, KINT does more.

9. CloudEagle

CloudEagle is a SaaS management platform with 500+ integrations, covering discovery, lifecycle management (onboarding and offboarding), procurement, licence optimisation, and spend management. Its pitch emphasises procurement tooling alongside access management.

Best for: IT and procurement teams at 200–500+ employee companies that want combined spend management and lifecycle automation, particularly teams that need procurement workflows alongside onboarding and offboarding.

Pricing: Module-based. SaaS Governance (onboarding/offboarding): from $2,000/month. SaaS Management (spend/licence): from $2,500/month. Modules stack if you need multiple. Published at cloudeagle.ai/pricing — verify before quoting.

Pros: 500+ integrations — the broadest catalog on this list. Procurement and spend intelligence in the same platform as lifecycle automation. Strong mid-market presence in "best SaaS management" SERPs.

Cons: Module pricing stacks quickly: all three modules is $6,000+/month, which is substantial at mid-market scale. Not self-serve in a meaningful way. At 200 employees, KINT's Growth plan is $1,000/month vs. CloudEagle's $2,000+ starting price for lifecycle alone.

10. Josys

Josys is a SaaS and identity management platform with strong traction in Asia-Pacific — particularly Japan, India, and Southeast Asia — and an established MSP channel. It covers SaaS discovery, lifecycle management, device management, and licence optimisation.

Best for: Mid-market IT teams and MSPs in Asia (India, Japan, SEA) who want a unified SaaS plus device management platform, particularly through MSP channels.

Pricing: Quote-only.

Pros: Strong Asia-Pacific presence — a natural fit for regionally-aware buyers in India and SEA. Combined SaaS management and device management. 300+ integrations. MSP delivery available through reseller partners.

Cons: No published pricing. Not self-serve. Less known in US/EU markets. No native SOC 2 CC6 audit evidence mapping.

When Zluri Is Actually the Right Choice

This list is written by the KINT team, which means we have an obvious conflict of interest. So here's when Zluri is genuinely the right call.

You're past 500 employees with a dedicated identity team. Zluri's 2026 platform — Identity Visibility and Intelligence, IGA, ISPM, SaaS Management, all powered by the IRIS intelligence layer — is built for organisations where someone's full-time job is identity security. If you have a Director of IAM, Zluri's depth is an asset, not a liability.

You need SaaS discovery and IGA under one roof at enterprise scale. Zluri's combination of 300+ out-of-the-box connectors, a 239K+ app discovery catalog, and unified identity governance in a single platform is difficult to match below the enterprise contract threshold.

Your procurement cycle is already formal. Zluri's deployment model assumes a multi-week evaluation, professional services involvement, and internal stakeholder alignment. If your buying process works that way, Zluri is designed for it. Buyers report $40K–$80K/year for 500 employees as a rough range (per industry buyer accounts — verify in your own evaluation).

Below 500 employees, with one or two IT people, no existing IdP, and no identity engineering function: that's where the alternatives above are genuinely better fits.

FAQ

What is the best Zluri alternative for a 200-person company?

For a 200-person company without a dedicated identity team, KINT is the only Zluri alternative with published per-employee pricing ($3–$5/employee/month) and self-serve OAuth setup without professional services. JumpCloud also publishes pricing ($9–$13/user/month depending on tier) but requires replacing your existing directory. For workflow depth without published pricing, Torii is the most commonly evaluated mid-market option.

Is Zluri overkill for mid-market companies?

For most teams under 500 employees without a dedicated identity team, yes. Zluri's 2026 platform is a full identity security suite — Identity Visibility and Intelligence, IGA, ISPM, SaaS Management, plus the IRIS intelligence layer — built for organisations that have identity engineers to run it. Mid-market IT operators with one or two staff members are usually better served by self-serve platforms with published pricing and faster time to value.

Which Zluri alternatives publish their pricing?

Of the 10 alternatives on this list, two publish pricing: KINT ($3–$5/employee/month, published at kingsleyint.com/pricing) and JumpCloud ($9–$24/user/month depending on tier). All others are quote-only.

Which Zluri alternative is fastest to set up?

KINT, using self-serve OAuth. A Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace company can connect their HRMS and run their first lifecycle workflow in under an hour. JumpCloud is also self-serve, but involves more directory-migration work if you're replacing an existing IdP. All other alternatives on this list — BetterCloud, Lumos, Torii, ConductorOne, Stitchflow, Cerby, CloudEagle, Josys — require a sales cycle before you're operational.

Do I need an identity provider to use these tools?

Not for KINT — it reads from your HRMS and acts on your SaaS apps without an IdP in the middle. If you have an IdP (Okta, Entra, JumpCloud), KINT runs alongside it and handles the apps your IdP can't reach. For Torii and ConductorOne, an IdP is typically part of the expected stack. JumpCloud is the IdP — it replaces your existing directory.

Which Zluri alternative handles apps without SCIM?

KINT (Adobe Admin Console live; Figma, Canva, Notion, Miro in progress) and Cerby (the dedicated non-SCIM specialist) are the two platforms on this list with browser automation for apps without SCIM or provisioning APIs. Stitchflow also covers non-SCIM apps through their managed-service model. For context on how widespread the no-SCIM gap is in mid-market SaaS stacks, see our license waste and access intelligence research.

How does KINT compare to Zluri specifically?

KINT is the mid-market option: published pricing ($3–$5/employee/month), self-serve signup, no professional services, HR-driven lifecycle automation. Zluri is the enterprise option: no published pricing, demo-required, professional-services setup, built for 500+ employee organisations with identity teams. Same core job — lifecycle automation and SaaS management — for different buyer profiles. Full head-to-head here.

Which alternative is best for SOC 2 evidence?

KINT is the only platform on this list with a native SOC 2 CC6.1/CC6.2/CC6.3 audit evidence model built into every workflow. Every action is Ed25519-signed, timestamped, and exportable in three clicks — no separate configuration required. Other platforms produce audit logs but typically require manual mapping of events to specific SOC 2 control requirements.

Are there free trials available?

KINT: 14-day free trial, no card, no auto-conversion — self-serve at app.kingsleyint.com/signup. JumpCloud: 30-day trial. All other platforms on this list require a demo or sales engagement before you can access the product.

Should I look at JumpCloud as a Zluri alternative?

Yes, but with a clear read of the distinction. JumpCloud is a directory replacement — it wants to be your source of truth for identity and devices. Zluri, BetterCloud, KINT, and most alternatives here sit on top of the directory you already have. If you want to replace your directory and build unified identity from scratch, JumpCloud is worth serious evaluation. If you want to automate lifecycle across an existing stack without rebuilding your identity foundation, the others are better fits.
