I wish someone would smack Okta over the head with this and get them to figure that part out.
Yes, they're expensive, but the per-use pricing was acceptable for what we wanted. I didn't realise there were (non-public) minimum spend amounts until we hit the end of our trial period and couldn't find any way to pay them other than to contact sales.
Sales wouldn't take the order for just a handful of users.

Okta has an extremely generous free plan...

Where? All I can find is https://www.okta.com/uk/free-trial/ and https://www.okta.com/pricing/

I didn't see anything about a free plan when we were doing this, and Sales only offered to extend our trial for another 30/60 days.
I greatly respect Fastly and their technology, but they (and Varnish) are biased against small companies and make it impossible for me to sign up customers who would benefit from their services and one day might grow into big spending customers.
AWS has shown that the days of "min $5000/year" (as both these services have quoted me for individual products) can be over and you can be profitable. Companies who don't catch up with that are cutting off their future.
