| Pricing | Not published · free tier: G2 users note a free entry-level price; contents of the free plan not verified this session | B2C Essentials from $35/month (500 MAU); B2B Essentials from $150/month (500 MAU) · free tier: $0/mo, no credit card, up to 25,000 monthly active users, 1 custom domain, passwordless, unlimited social connections, 5 Organizations, basic attack protection, community support, 1 Enterprise Connection, self-service SSO and SCIM; separately a 30-day free trial on Okta Customer Identity |
| Pricing model | Usage-based | Subscription (MAU-based tiers) plus sales-led custom |
| 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. | Product and engineering teams under ~25,000 MAU who want to ship customer login fast on the free tier, and B2B SaaS vendors needing multi-tenant Organizations, enterprise SSO and SCIM without building federation themselves. |
| 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 run a high-volume, low-ARPU consumer app where MAU pricing plus next-tier-up billing decouples cost from revenue, you need multi-year budget certainty, you only need basic login/logout, or you want to self-host. |

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.
