Workforce Identity Suites

Suite	Per User / Month (annual)	Per User / Year	What it adds
Essentials Suite	$17	$204	SSO, MFA, Lifecycle, Governance basics, Privileged Access (0.5 RU)
Premium Suite	$28	$336	Everything in Essentials, plus Identity Governance, Identity Threat Protection, Workflows

Worked example: 500-user enterprise on Premium Suite

Acme RegBank Co. (illustrative example, not a real company) is a 500-user regulated bank wanting Okta Workforce Identity with Privileged Access and Identity Governance.

Premium Suite 500 users x $336/yr$168,000/yr

Essentials alternative (no IGA / ITP) 500 x $204/yr$102,000/yr

Premium uplift for IGA + ITP$66,000/yr

Annual total Premium$168,000

Most regulated buyers land on Premium Suite because Identity Governance and Identity Threat Protection are typically required by SOC 2, ISO 27001 and internal audit. Quoting Essentials at $204/user/year is a real anchor only when IGA and ITP are explicitly out of scope.

What Okta Privileged Access is good at

Consolidates PAM with identity. One contract for SSO, MFA, IGA and PAM, with shared session-context and risk signals.
Native fit for existing Okta deployments. Workforce Identity already in place, PAM is a Suite upgrade rather than a new vendor.
Cloud-resource-aware. Strong fit for AWS, GCP, Azure privileged access via the Okta Connector.

What to watch on Okta contracts

Stand-alone PAM SKU is not published. You buy a Suite, even if PAM is the only new thing on your RFP.
12-month minimum, multi-year typical. Annual escalators 3-10% depending on negotiation.
On-prem integration carries operational cost. Legacy AD bridge, on-prem Connector hosts each carry separate ops cost.
IGA and ITP are Premium-only. If your RFP lists those, you land on $336/user/year, not $204.
