Logto reaches 10,000 GitHub stars and 1 million identities: The open foundation for identity in the AI era

Today, we’re excited to share some exciting milestones with everyone:

Logto OSS has achieved 10,000 stars on GitHub and Logto Cloud is now managing over 1 million identities!

These achievements mark Logto’s rapid rise as one of the most trusted open-source authentication solutions and identity and access management (IAM) platforms in the world.

In a future shaped by AI and autonomous systems, identity and authentication aren’t just about signing in; they’re about enabling programmable, secure trust between people, apps, and intelligent agents. From the very beginning, Logto was built for this future.

Here’s why Logto is becoming the foundation for modern identity and access management:

Built for universal identity, including AI#

While legacy providers like Auth0, Cognito, and Firebase Auth were designed for web and mobile apps, Logto is architected for modern identity use cases. It supports AI agents, MCP servers, and next-generation workflows out of the box.

In addition to its native OAuth 2.0/2.1, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and SAML support, Logto offers powerful features that give developers unmatched versatility and flexibility:

• Personal Access Tokens (PATs): Authenticate and authorize API calls securely from any client, including AI agents.
• Token Exchange: Enable secure delegation of access between different identities and services.
• MCP Auth: Everything you need to add production-ready authentication to your MCP server.
• Organizations: First-class support for multi-tenancy and multiple organizations.

We believe the future of identity isn’t just about connecting users to apps. It’s also about connecting intelligent agents and entire ecosystems. Logto is designed to support this vision.

In the future of the internet:

Trust must be programmable. Logto is ready.

Flexible infrastructure, designed to scale#

Logto’s architecture offers more flexibility than traditional providers, whether you’re building a modern app or working with a legacy system.

• Multi-app and multi-tenant ready: Serve multiple products or organizations from a single Logto tenant.
• Cloud powered by open source: Logto Cloud runs on the same codebase as Logto OSS, providing transparency and security through open source.
• Horizontal scalability: Proven to scale to millions of users and transactions, Logto Cloud delivers over 99.99% uptime for all customers.
• Data control: Define your own data residency and compliance requirements with Logto Cloud Enterprise, or self-host Logto OSS on your infrastructure.

Unlike closed systems, Logto gives you ownership, transparency, and architectural freedom, that are critical for building trust across human, machine, and AI actors.

Developer-first and open source at its core#

Logto provides 30+ SDKs, beautifully crafted pre-built sign-in UIs, and clear, extensive APIs to make identity integration fast and straightforward across any tech stack.

As a fully open-source platform, Logto ensures:

• Community-driven innovation: Development powered by contributions and insights from developers worldwide.
• Auditability and extensibility: Full transparency and the ability to customize Logto to meet specific needs.

Logto offers the speed and polish of SaaS with the freedom and control of open source, a balance that legacy providers often miss.

Enterprise power without the complexity#

Whether you need:

• Single sign-on (SSO) integrations with Okta, Entra ID, or standard SAML/OIDC providers;
• Role-based access control (RBAC) across tenants and organizations;
• Built-in multi-factor authentication (MFA);

Logto delivers enterprise-grade features while keeping the developer experience clean, logical, and future-ready.

No complicated setups. No hidden fees. Full-stack identity made simple.

A cost-effective alternative#

Logto’s growth is also driven by its most reasonable pricing model in the market. The open-source edition is free, and Logto Cloud offers up to 50,000 monthly active users with simple token-based pricing: you only pay for what you use.

We couldn’t even convince ourselves:

Why should you pay the same price for a user who signs in once a month as for one who signs in every day?

A growing, vibrant community#

Logto Cloud is quickly gaining adoption around the world, trusted by over 20,000 customers and managing more than one million identities (and growing fast) across startups and enterprises.

Our open-source community has been central to our success. Logto has earned over 10,000 GitHub stars, a rare milestone among developer tools. Contributions, GitHub discussions, and active engagement on Discord help Logto evolve rapidly through direct community feedback, staying true to our developer-first philosophy.

Logto is more than just an authentication solution or an IAM platform. It’s an open foundation for identity in the era of AI and autonomous systems.

Let’s build the future of identity together!
