| 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 | Enterprise SSO from $125/connection/month (third-party sourced; vendor pricing page not retrievable this session) · free tier: AuthKit/User Management free to 1,000,000 MAU, including email/password, social auth, Magic Auth, MFA, bot protection, identity linking, org modeling and domain verification; staging SSO and Directory Sync connections are unbilled |
| Pricing model | Freemium / usage-based with custom enterprise quoting | Freemium with per-connection subscription 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. | B2B SaaS companies with an enterprise sales motion and ACVs comfortably above ~$1,500/year per SSO customer that need SAML, SCIM and audit logs shipped in weeks, especially where MAU volume is high but the paid connection count is modest. |
| 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 want to offer SSO on a low-priced self-serve tier, you are building a consumer/B2C app needing adaptive risk and fraud detection, you need granular RBAC or Auth0-style session management out of the box, or you require a deep current review corpus before taking on a core dependency. |

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.
