| Pricing | Not published · free tier: G2 users note a free entry-level price; contents of the free plan not verified this session | 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 | Usage-based | Usage-based (Monthly Active User metering) with free allowance and paid add-ons |
| Best for | Engineering-led teams wanting programmatic auth control across both consumer and B2B enterprise tenants, especially those needing SAML SSO and SCIM self-service for their own enterprise customers. | 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 are a seat-based B2B SaaS whose revenue does not track MAUs, want a low-maintenance hosted low-code flow, need fraud-focused real-time monitoring as the primary capability, or require certainty on vendor independence and long-term SKU survival following the Twilio acquisition. | 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.
