Frontegg

88/100

Frontegg is purpose-built for engineering teams developing multi-tenant SaaS applications who need to offload authentication complexity. Product and engineering teams benefit from pre-built enterprise features like SSO and MFA that would otherwise require months to build. Marketing, sales, and non-technical operations teams typically lack the development resources required to implement front-end SDKs and backend integrations, making adoption impossible without dedicated engineering support.

Auth0

78/100

Auth0 excels for development teams building customer-facing applications requiring complex identity flows and high customization. Security teams benefit from its robust MFA and SSO capabilities, but small teams with basic authentication needs may find the platform unnecessarily complex and expensive compared to simpler alternatives.

Adoption RiskExpected friction, training effort, and behavior change needed to move teams onto the alternative.
