Stytch is completely free with 9 features included. No paid tiers offered, making it perfect for budget-conscious users.
Auth0 offers more pre-built UI components, a larger community ecosystem, and broader enterprise features. Stytch offers a simpler pricing model (no cliffs), stronger passwordless support, and more API-level control. Auth0 is better for teams wanting quick setup with login widgets. Stytch is better for developers who want full UI control and passwordless-first authentication.
Yes. The free tier includes 10,000 MAUs, 5 SSO connections, 1,000 M2M tokens, and 10,000 fingerprint events with no time limit. For most early-stage apps, this covers authentication costs entirely.
Yes. Stytch supports SAML and OIDC SSO with per-organization configuration. The B2B product lets each tenant connect their own identity provider (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, etc.) with SCIM directory sync for automated user provisioning.
No. Stytch is a cloud-only service. If you need self-hosted authentication, look at SuperTokens (open-source, self-hostable) or Keycloak (open-source, Java-based). The tradeoff is more infrastructure management in exchange for full data control.
It's completely free — no credit card required.
