| Pricing | $0/month (Pay as you go); no per-MAU, per-connection or per-token rate published · free tier: Pay as you go at $0/month: fully customized hosted login, 7,500 monthly active users, 5 enterprise connections (SSO/SCIM), unlimited organizations, custom domain; 1 environment | Not published — the vendor pricing page rendered every dollar figure as '$-' on retrieval; the paid rate above 50,000 MAUs is stated only as 'per Monthly Active User' · free tier: Core offering free for the first 50,000 monthly active users (MAUs) |
| Pricing model | Freemium / usage-based with custom enterprise quoting | Usage-based (Monthly Active User metering) with free allowance and paid add-ons |
| 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. | Enterprises already running Microsoft Entra, Microsoft 365 and Azure that need partner and supplier guest access with governance, or customer-facing apps under 50,000 MAUs where password and social sign-in suffice without metered SMS. |
| 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 need a firm published price before engaging sales, run a high-volume consumer app dependent on SMS OTP, need governance on a pure consumer external tenant, sit outside the Azure ecosystem, or weight depth of peer review evidence heavily. |

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.
