Packaging changelow impact
SSO removed from Airbyte Cloud Standard for new subscribers
Single sign-on is no longer available on Standard; existing SSO users may continue while they keep the plan.
Who’s affected
Teams that are new to Airbyte Cloud Standard and need SSO for their workspace, or that plan to start using SSO on Standard. Existing Standard customers already using SSO are grandfathered only while they stay on the Standard plan.
Not affected: Existing Standard customers already using SSO who plan to stay on Standard, and teams that don't need SSO.
What it costs
The record gives no prices, so the cost impact is indirect: new teams that need SSO must move to a higher plan, and the record doesn't say which one or what it costs. Existing SSO users face no change as long as they keep the plan, but moving plans later would likely end their grandfathered SSO.
When to act
The change took effect on 2026-09-21 and is already past, so new SSO needs should be settled now, while any plan change should be planned around your renewal.
Blast radius: Only user login to the Airbyte Cloud workspace: identity provider setup, access policies and any compliance evidence that relies on SSO. Pipelines and syncs are unaffected.
What should you do? decision tree
- you already use SSO on Airbyte Cloud Standard and have no plan to change plansDo nothing now, but document that SSO is grandfathered and tied to staying on Standard.
- you are a new Standard subscriber and SSO is a hard security or compliance requirementAsk Airbyte sales which plan includes SSO and get a quote before committing.
- you are grandfathered but expect to change plans, switch billing or add workspacesConfirm in writing with Airbyte whether SSO survives the change before making it.
- SSO is nice-to-have rather than requiredStart on Standard with managed user accounts and revisit SSO when your seat count or audit needs grow.
- the higher plan cost for SSO isn't justifiedCompare self-managed Airbyte or other ingestion tools that include SSO at your tier.
Options
- WaitIf you're an existing SSO user, keep your current Standard plan unchanged and the SSO access continues.
- NegotiateAsk Airbyte sales whether SSO can be added to Standard as an exception or bundled into a quote at your next renewal.
- UpgradeMove to the Airbyte Cloud plan that still includes SSO if it is a security requirement; confirm the list price first.
- MigrateMove ingestion to a tool or a self-hosted setup where SSO is available at your price point.
