What Is KINT?

What is KINT, in one paragraph?

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. Headquartered in Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, India.

That paragraph is the short answer. The rest of this page is the long one: what KINT actually does, who it's for, how it's different, what it costs, and how to tell it apart from the other things called "Kint" on the web.

What does KINT actually do?

KINT runs the full employee access lifecycle — joiner, mover, leaver — across your SaaS apps. It is built on three pillars.

1. Joiner / Mover / Leaver automation. This is the core workflow engine. A new hire lands in your HR system; KINT provisions their Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account, their Slack, their GitHub, and the rest of their role's apps in roughly eight seconds. A role change updates access in between. A termination revokes everything — KINT's offboarding workflow runs about 47 seconds end-to-end, from the HR event to a signed evidence packet, executing across six or more apps in parallel.

2. SaaS Access Intelligence. KINT reads your connected apps to surface dormant accounts, license waste, and admin sprawl. This layer is queryable by Claude or ChatGPT through MCP, on a deliberate split: the AI can read your access data freely, but any mutation (actually changing access) requires human approval. The AI tells you what's wrong; a person still signs off on the fix.

3. Audit-ready evidence. Every action KINT takes is signed with an Ed25519 key, timestamped, and mapped to SOC 2 CC6.1, CC6.2, and CC6.3, with replay-safe lineage. The evidence an auditor asks for is generated as a byproduct of the automation, exportable in three clicks, rather than screenshotted together the week before the audit.

The connective tissue under all three is reach. KINT acts on apps three ways: through a direct API where one exists, through SCIM where the app supports it, and through browser automation for the apps that gate provisioning or have no usable API at all. That third path is the point — roughly 40% of mid-market SaaS apps lack proper SCIM provisioning (industry research), and those are exactly the apps that get missed when someone leaves.

Who is KINT for?

KINT is for the IT operator at a 100–500-employee, SaaS-first company. The specific person: a Head of IT, IT Manager, or systems administrator at a fast-growing company that runs on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 plus Slack, GitHub, and a grab-bag of other SaaS tools. Often there are one or two IT people and no dedicated identity team. The access matrix lives in a Notion doc. And the recurring pain is the Friday-evening realization that someone left two weeks ago and their GitHub is still active.

HR and People Ops feel the offboarding pain hardest but usually route the decision to IT. KINT is built for the person who owns the access, not the committee.

KINT is not built for the Fortune 500 security team running SailPoint or Saviynt, or for an identity-engineering function governing 1,000+ apps with custom policy. That buyer is well served already. The 100–500 segment is the one that has been ignored for a decade — priced out of enterprise IGA and outgrown by SMB tools that stop at 50 employees.

How is KINT different from other identity tools?

KINT is the HR-driven identity lifecycle platform that combines self-serve signup, transparent per-employee pricing on the website, one-click OAuth setup, and the ability to run without an identity provider — built specifically for the 100–500 mid-market. No single competitor matches that full combination.

The honest version of that claim, because honesty is the wedge here: pieces of it exist elsewhere. tenfold (Austria) is transparent, self-serve, and no-IdP, but it's rooted in Microsoft and on-premise Windows environments rather than a cloud-native SaaS stack. CloudEagle does HR-driven joiner-mover-leaver, but it's demo-gated and lifecycle is a feature of a spend tool. Rippling does self-serve mid-market lifecycle, but it's a suite you re-platform onto. The enterprise IGA players — Zluri, Lumos, BetterCloud, ConductorOne — hide pricing and require a demo and, in most cases, an identity team and a multi-week rollout.

There is competition. There is no exact replacement.

What does KINT cost?

KINT publishes its pricing, which is rare in this category. Most lifecycle and IGA platforms make you book a call to learn the price.

Billing is monthly in USD; annual prepay saves 15%; there are no setup fees and no per-connector charges. A 14-day free trial runs with no card and no auto-conversion. There is also a founding offer — $1.50 per employee per month with a 12-month price lock — open to the first few Growth customers in exchange for case-study collaboration and product feedback.

(The connector counts above are honest: "50+" and "200+" describe live API/SCIM connectors and the broader mapped catalogue respectively. If a specific app matters to you, the live status is worth confirming before you commit.)

Is KINT the same as Knowledge Integration, Kint Corp, or the Kint PHP tool?

No. "KINT" is a short token that several unrelated things share, so to be precise:

If you searched for identity lifecycle, offboarding automation, or SaaS deprovisioning and landed here, this is the KINT you wanted. Everywhere we write it, the full name is KINT (Kingsley Integrators) for exactly this reason.

Who builds KINT?

KINT is built by Gowtham Palanisamy, a founder with about seven years in B2B SaaS performance marketing (Trengo, Easygenerator, Kovai) before building his own product. He works from Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, with AI engineering support, and builds in public — shipping, breaking, and fixing in the open. The company has zero paying customers as of mid-2026 and is actively signing its first design partners on the founding offer. That early-and-honest stance is deliberate: in a category full of "contact us for pricing," transparency is the differentiator.

Try KINT

The fastest way to understand KINT is to point it at your own stack. Sign up, connect one app with OAuth, and run an offboarding workflow on a test account to watch the access disappear and the evidence packet generate.

FAQ

What is KINT? 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 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), with self-serve signup at kingsleyint.com.

What does KINT stand for, and who makes it? KINT is the product name; the company is Kingsley Integrators. It's built by founder Gowtham Palanisamy from Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, India. KINT is not affiliated with Kint Corp, Kint Cosmetics, the Kint PHP debugging tool, or Knowledge Integration (k-int.com).

Does KINT need Okta or Microsoft Entra to work? No. KINT can run the full joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle directly from your HR system or a CSV upload, so a company with no identity provider can still automate provisioning and offboarding. If you already run Okta or Entra, KINT works alongside it and covers the SaaS apps an IdP can't reach.

Is KINT self-serve, or do I have to book a demo? Self-serve. You sign up on the website and connect your stack with OAuth in under five minutes. There's a 14-day free trial with no card. A demo is available if you want one, but it isn't required to start.

How much does KINT cost? $3 per employee per month on Starter (100–250 employees) and $5 on Growth (250–500), published on the pricing page. Annual prepay saves 15%, with no setup or per-connector fees. A founding offer of $1.50 per employee per month with a 12-month price lock is open to the first few Growth customers.

Is KINT SOC 2 certified? KINT has completed SOC 2 Type I; the Type II audit is in progress. Every workflow is Ed25519-signed, timestamped, and mapped to SOC 2 CC6.1, CC6.2, and CC6.3, so audit evidence is generated as a byproduct of the automation.

Where is KINT based? Kingsley Integrators is built from Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, India. Data residency defaults to the US, with EU and India options available on the Custom plan.
