The most powerful alternative to Auth0
Spend less time on auth
Less code to maintain, stronger bot and fraud protection, and no surprise fees—all with expert support every step of the way.
AuthN and AuthZ infrastructure with unparalleled flexibility
Auth how you want it, with pre-built UI, headless frontend SDKs, and backend APIs and SDKs
Simplify your codebase with tailored data models for consumer and B2B auth, freeing you from complex middleware
Scale with ease. MFA, SSO, RBAC, and SCIM—your entire auth roadmap, just an API call away
Manage users, organizations, and auth settings directly in your dashboard with an embeddable admin portal
Ship your auth roadmap in less time, with less code
Simple API calls handle the messy corner cases and best practices of auth and security, so you aren’t stuck building and maintaining hundreds of lines of middleware.
Transparent pricing
If you’re using Auth0, you’ve likely experienced steep price hikes when you exceed some obscure usage tier. With Stytch, our pricing is transparent, scales predictably as you grow, and eliminates hidden cost surprises.
No building admin portals from scratch
Unlike Auth0, which forces you to build your own admin portal manually with a collection of API endpoints, Stytch provides a SDK and components to embed an admin portal directly into your application. This interface empowers admins to configure and manage enterprise auth features like SSO within your platform without needing to build it yourself.
Lower friction UX. Higher-converting signups
Faster OAuth integration
Stytch normalizes data models and nomenclature across providers, making OAuth easy and intuitive to integrate.
Account de-duplication
If a user signs up with their email address and later signs in via social login, Stytch automatically links and safely de-duplicates the accounts.
Simplified org discovery and login flow
With opt-in just-in-time provisioning by validated email domain, self serve organization creation and surfacing of pending invites.
Leading fraud and abuse protection, built-in
The world's most powerful fingerprint
Device intelligence built on a powerful combination of deterministic signals and supervised machine learning.
Hardened against the most sophisticated attackers
Immutable and resistant to evasion or reverse engineering, all while preserving user privacy.
What engineering teams are saying
We migrated tens of millions of users from Auth0 to Stytch in less than a month. It was far and away the easiest migration I’ve ever worked on.
