# B2B SaaS Pricing Model, PLG & Enterprise SSO-Tax Auditor (`algernontechnologies/saas-pricing-sso-tax-auditor`) Actor

Audits company pricing pages to extract SaaS pricing models (Seat vs Usage vs Tiered), PLG free tier / trial availability, lowest entry price, billing stack (Stripe/Chargebee/Paddle), and whether SAML/SSO is gated behind Enterprise ('SSO Tax'). Built for Clay.com, RevOps & VC research.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 💸 B2B SaaS Pricing Model, PLG & Enterprise "SSO-Tax" Auditor

Automatically audit any list of B2B SaaS domains (e.g., `linear.app`, `supabase.com`, `calendly.com`) to extract their **Go-To-Market (GTM) sales motion**, **pricing model**, **starting price**, **free tier / trial availability**, **billing stack**, and whether **SAML / SSO is gated behind an Enterprise tier ("SSO Tax")**.

Built for **Clay.com outbound agencies**, **RevOps teams**, **Private Equity / VC analysts**, and **MCP AI Agents**.

> 🌐 **Live Benchmark Demo:** See this Actor's live output across leading SaaS & AI companies at **[The 2026 B2B SaaS Trust Center, AI Sub-Processor & SSO-Tax Index](https://tobiaslofton.github.io/saas-trust-ai-index/)** (Open-source dataset: [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/tobiaslofton/saas-trust-ai-index)).

### 🚀 What Data Does It Extract?

| Field | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| **`sales_motion`** | Classifies as `Product-Led Growth (PLG Self-Serve)`, `Hybrid (PLG Self-Serve + Enterprise Sales)`, or `Enterprise Sales-Led (SLG)`. |
| **`pricing_model`** | Detects `Per-Seat / User Subscription`, `Usage-Based / Pay-As-You-Go`, `Hybrid (Per-Seat + Usage-Based)`, `Tiered Flat Subscription`, or `Enterprise Custom Quote Only`. |
| **`lowest_paid_price_usd`** | Extracts the entry-level paid price point in USD (e.g., `8`, `10`, `25`). |
| **`price_points_csv`** | Flat CSV list of all detected tier price points (e.g., `$0, $8, $14, $25`). |
| **`has_free_tier` / `has_free_trial`** | Boolean flags for instant PLG lead segmentation in Clay.com and HubSpot. |
| **`sso_tax_gated`** | Detects whether SAML / Okta / SCIM / Single Sign-On is gated behind an Enterprise plan. |
| **`billing_stack_csv`** | Identifies payment/subscription infrastructure (`Stripe`, `Chargebee`, `Paddle`, `Recurly`, `Zuora`, `Maxio`, `Orb`, `Metronome`). |
| **`gtm_summary`** | Executive GTM & packaging summary (with optional **Gemini 2.5 Flash** synthesis). |

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{

    "supabase.com",
    "calendly.com"
  ]

apify call algernontechnologies/saas-pricing-sso-tax-auditor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,algernontechnologies/saas-pricing-sso-tax-auditor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
