| Pricing | $0/month (Pay as you go); no per-MAU, per-connection or per-token rate published · free tier: Pay as you go at $0/month: fully customized hosted login, 7,500 monthly active users, 5 enterprise connections (SSO/SCIM), unlimited organizations, custom domain; 1 environment | Starter from $162/mo (billed annually, at the page default of 1,000 MAUs), community-forum support only, basic hosting included · free tier: Community — free, unlimited, self-hosted with core authentication features and community support (forums, Slack, GitHub); passkeys/WebAuthn and biometrics reportedly require registering a free Community licence |
| Pricing model | Freemium / usage-based with custom enterprise quoting | Subscription (MAU-based tiers; free self-hosted Community edition) |
| Best for | Seed-to-Series-B B2B SaaS companies with natively multi-tenant products replacing homegrown auth, who want embedded admin portal, tenant-scoped roles and enterprise SSO at low or zero initial cost — especially teams that shortlisted Okta or Auth0 and found their multi-tenancy inadequate. | Engineering-led B2C or mid-market B2B SaaS teams that need data sovereignty or on-prem CIAM, are comfortable with OAuth2/OIDC concepts, and want an API-first platform they can start free and later move to managed hosting without switching vendors. |
| Avoid if | You need a firm budget before talking to sales, run unusual tenancy models (multi-org users, cross-tenant roles), are a Terraform/IaC-first or on-prem/hybrid platform team, need workforce IAM rather than customer identity, require a contractual uptime SLA below the Enterprise tier, or demand a deep and recent independent review corpus. | You lack dedicated engineering capacity for identity work, require a truly open-source core, need 24x7 support or an SLA on a small budget, need cheap SCIM provisioning, or require FedRAMP or Zanzibar-style fine-grained authorization. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
