Modal renames Enterprise SSO from Okta to standards-based SAML
What happened
Between the Sep 8, 2026 and Sep 14, 2026 captures of Modal's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Enterprise plan's SSO offering was renamed from 'Okta SSO' to 'SAML SSO' in the feature bullet list, moving from a specific vendor to a standards-based SAML SSO description. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Team at $250, Compute resources at $1.1 NVIDIA A10G instance hour + $1.95 L40S GPU hour and Sandbox + Notebooks compute at $2.4 per 100 GiB-Hour + $14.19 per 100 core-hours.
It lands 2 days after Modal's previous change, "Modal adds included token usage row, renames free credits to free compute" (Sep 12, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Modal swaps Okta SSO for SAML SSO in Enterprise audit logs bullet" (Sep 11, 2026), "Modal cuts region surcharge floor to 1.15x, easing cross-region compute costs" (Sep 8, 2026) and "Modal slashes region surcharge floor from 1.5x to 1.15x across all tiers" (Sep 3, 2026). Modal has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Together AI, Lambda Labs, Paper and Huggingface also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
