Auth0 vs Logto

How are they similar?

1. We adhere to OIDC-based standard protocols, ensuring compatibility and security. We haven't seen many new auth products follow these standard protocols. Open standards serve the auth system well in the long run. Not following standard protocols in your auth system can be a deal-breaker when partnering with other businesses or during future integrations.

2. Our product supports a multi-app structure within a single user system, which greatly simplifies the following scenarios:

   a. Use Logto as an IdP (Identity Provider) for third party services.

   b. Support for businesses with multiple apps.

   c. A unified identity system that consolidates multiple apps, including first party and third party.

3. Both services are robust in authentication and authorization capabilities.

4. Comprehensive features and scenario support:

   a. We cover all types of authentication methods, UI flows, SSO (Single Sign-On), MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), and Multi-tenancy solutions.

   b. We provide a full range of integrations, from UI to SDK, and APIs, ensuring flexibility and scalability to meet your specific needs and seamlessly integrate into your services.

   c. SaaS, multi-app, consumer apps, AI apps, and enterprise-ready solutions are all within our scope.

How Logto differs from Auth0

Larger target audiences

We specifically cater to users who may be overlooked by Auth0, including developers and startups in need of digital solutions. This is far more than what Auth0 targeted because of the less flexible approach and high pricing.

Open-source

Besides the cloud version, we at the same time maintain a reputable, community driven open-source version. If you prefer self-hosted, go with the open-source version.

Pricing

Auth0: High cost upfront (Prepaid); Logto: Flat rate with flexible add-on. Auth0’s pricing model is based on base price and MAU usage. Our product offers unlimited MAU and flexible add-on for the advanced features. You only pay for the feature usage, and your product MAU is not a concern anymore.
