About
Cloud-IAM is a managed Keycloak service for cloud identity and access management. It provides hosted Keycloak environments with support for OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML, plus features such as MFA, SSO, password policy, social login, identity provider brokering, LDAP/AD/Kerberos integration, REST APIs, backups, and export/reversibility options.
The pricing page shows a perpetual Freemium plan for up to 100 users and 1 realm, with mutualized HA deployment, unlimited monthly active users, automatic planned updates, and community support. Paid plans add dedicated deployments, higher SLAs, support response targets, custom domains, extensions, consulting, and multi-region options.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a genuinely usable capped plan: it includes up to 100 users, one realm, unlimited monthly active users, and the core IAM features, but it stops short of the paid SLA and support tiers. The cheapest paid plan starts at about $225/month, so this looks worth roughly 40% of that level, or about $90/month, with the cap and community-only support keeping it below the paid offerings.
