Metorial's search snippet opens with "One MCP URL behind your SSO" and "role-based tool access", and the scale-ups page promises "company SSO" with policies "per user and group". On the pricing page, Scale ($250/mo, "Businesses and teams that need more") marks SAML SSO and access management as not included. Both are Enterprise only, which has no price, and both the scale-ups and SAML pages end in "Book a demo". A 60-person scale-up that wants exactly what the homepage describes cannot buy it, and has to wait for a four-person team to run a sales call. Rivals take that buyer: Obot gives away a self-hosted edition for up to 100 users.

Why it works
Publish a plan that includes the homepage promise. One option is a "Team" or "Business" tier between Scale and Enterprise with SAML SSO, SCIM group sync, group policies and audit-log export at a listed per-month price. The other is an SSO and access add-on to Scale. Keep Enterprise for on-prem, SLA, advanced compliance and custom limits, and show "from $X" so buyers can budget. Add a 14-day SSO trial on Scale so IT can connect its identity provider before paying. Then point the scale-ups page, the SAML and access-control feature pages and the homepage FAQ to the new plan instead of only "Book a demo". Track self-serve upgrades and how many demos turn into this plan.
The pricing page is where intent peaks. A buyer who reads "behind your SSO" on the homepage and finds "No" in the SSO row on Scale either leaves or waits for a call. Publishing the price turns the most common mid-market request into a self-serve purchase, shortens sales cycles for a team with no sales staff, and keeps demos for real enterprise deals. It also matches the move upmarket the site already made (starting price $35 to $250 in a year).
