Key Differences
SCIM Availability
Frontegg: Frontegg includes SCIM connections starting on its free Pay-as-you-Go tier, with 5 enterprise SSO/SCIM connections included.
Logto: Logto does not document SCIM support; its documented enterprise identity feature is SAML/OIDC-based SSO on the Pro plan.
SCIM enables automated user provisioning for enterprise customers; whether it's available and at what tier affects onboarding speed for enterprise deals.
Free Tier Composition
Frontegg: Frontegg's free tier includes 7,500 MAU plus 5 enterprise SSO/SCIM connections, unlimited organizations, and a custom domain.
Logto: Logto's free tier includes up to 50,000 MAU but no enterprise SSO connections; SSO requires the $24/month Pro plan.
The two free tiers trade off differently: more users for free versus more enterprise features for free.
Pricing Transparency
Frontegg: Frontegg uses an interactive usage-based calculator based on MAU, SSO connections, and M2M tokens, with per-unit rates beyond the free tier not publicly listed.
Logto: Logto publishes a flat $24/month Pro price with a defined feature list, including unlimited MAU, RBAC, organizations, MFA, and enterprise SSO.
Published flat pricing is easier to budget against than a calculator-based model that requires sales contact for specifics.
Self-Hosting
Frontegg: Frontegg is not documented as offering a self-hosting option; it is a cloud-hosted platform.
Logto: Logto is open source and self-hostable, with a dedicated Logto Private Cloud offering for Enterprise customers.
Self-hosting matters for teams with data residency or infrastructure-control requirements.
AI/Agentic Access Features
Frontegg: Frontegg offers Agen.co, a related offering that lets users interact with SaaS products through generative AI platforms.
Logto: Logto does not document an equivalent agentic access feature; its no-code offering is Protected App, which adds auth in front of an app without SDK integration.
Products exploring AI-agent-driven interfaces may value a vendor-provided agentic access layer versus a general no-code auth proxy.

Pricing Compared
Starting price reflects the lowest paid tier, not the full cost for every team size or usage level.
Frontegg
Pay as You Go — Free to start, then usage-based Monthly (usage-based)
Company is younger and smaller than established competitors like Auth0, with a shorter track record
Documentation and community resources are smaller than more mature identity platforms
Token-based overage pricing on the Pro plan adds a variable cost dimension to budget for
Enterprise compliance features like HIPAA/BAA require the custom-priced Enterprise tier
Self-hosting requires operational effort to maintain and secure the identity infrastructure
Use Cases
Choose Frontegg: B2B SaaS teams that need enterprise SSO and SCIM connections available immediately, even on a free plan, and want a related AI/agentic access layer (Agen.co) fit Frontegg.
Choose Logto: Teams that want a published, predictable flat-rate paid plan, a larger free MAU ceiling, and the option to self-host are better served by Logto.
Need both: Both are complete CIAM platforms competing for the same integration point, so there's no architecture where an app uses both simultaneously. A more realistic scenario is a company evaluating both during a vendor selection process and choosing Logto for one product that needs self-hosting while using Frontegg for another that needs SCIM available on the free tier.
Frontegg
Adding enterprise SSO to a growing SaaS product — A B2B SaaS company preparing to sell to larger enterprise customers integrates Frontegg to quickly offer SAML/OIDC SSO and SCIM provisioning, satisfying security questionnaires without building an in-house identity team.
Multi-tenant platform user management — A vertical SaaS platform serving many customer organizations uses Frontegg's tenant and organization model to isolate each customer's users, roles, and permissions while managing them from a single admin console.
Plan-based feature gating — A subscription SaaS product ties its pricing tiers directly to Frontegg's entitlements module so that feature access automatically updates when a customer upgrades or downgrades their plan.
Logto
B2B SaaS multi-tenant authentication — SaaS companies use Logto's Organizations feature to give each customer account its own isolated users, roles, and permissions within a single Logto instance.
Startup authentication on a budget — Early-stage startups adopt Logto's free 50,000 MAU tier to add production-ready authentication without upfront identity infrastructure costs.
Regulated industry self-hosted identity — Healthcare and finance companies self-host Logto or use Logto Private Cloud to meet HIPAA and data residency requirements while retaining full control of user data.
