The out-of-the-box Auth0 alternative for B2B
Auth0 by Okta leans heavily on custom development. Frontegg’s low-code capabilities makes it easier for developers to manage complex B2B SaaS identity. Even non-developers can get in on it.
Auth0 by Okta is solid for B2C identity management and internal identity management. Where it doesn’t shine is for B2B use cases.
Here at Frontegg, we’re purpose built for B2B SaaS — and you’ll feel the difference right away. We natively support subscription management, feature flags, and trial management, simplifying the management of B2B user access.
With no APIs needed, it’s easy to replicate your customers’ organizational structures right within the application. For example, customers can set permissions, access levels, and security protocols for different accounts and users at various levels of the hierarchy.
Auth0 by Okta is all about custom development. But do engineers really want to spend their time fiddling around with identity management when they could be launching their next cool feature? And do non-technical teams such as InfoSec and product want to have such little control over security issues that impact them?
With Frontegg’s low-code capabilities, non-developers can impact identity management without waiting on the engineering team. Everyone wins.

Low code + pro-code options
Auth0 only supports self-service registration and password reset. Additional self-service features aren’t included out-of-the-box, and need to be built out using APIs. Nobody has time for that.
On the other hand, Frontegg’s self-service capabilities keeps your end-users moving fast. Our out-of-the-box Admin Portal allows them to view and adjust security settings based on their specific roles and permissions. It’s easy to customize both personal and tenant capabilities such as SSO, user invitations, profile management, and security configurations.
Both Frontegg and Auth0 offer strong authentication options. If that’s all you need, you’re good either way.

Frontegg is purpose-built for B2B use cases. Manage organizational hierarchies, user groups, and much more. While Auth0 offers multi-tenancy support, it requires custom coding for RBAC.
Organization management
Hierarchies

Login per organization
User groups

Logs streaming
Both Frontegg and Auth0 have key enterprise features such as Hierarchies (Organizations). But Frontegg has certain enterprise capabilities that Auth0 lacks, such as built-in SCIM and audit logs.

VP of Product and Operations
Migrating to Frontegg was significantly faster than my experience migrating to Auth0.
VP R&D
Using Auth0 forced us to have an internal ‘expert.’ The integration was painful and frustrating. Moving to Frontegg was seamless, easy to integrate, and my team loves it.
