The low-code FusionAuth alternative
FusionAuth is meant only for developers, so it’s highly code-based and the UI/UX is lacking. Frontegg was also built for developers, but then we kept on going. Other stakeholders like InfoSec, GTM, IT, and Product can use Frontegg without having to touch code.
One of the standout features of Frontegg is its easy-to-use UI and UX. FusionAuth can feel like a tool built exclusively for developers, where interface usability is less important. But Frontegg provides a clean, modern experience that simplifies even the most complex identity management tasks such as configuring permissions, setting up multi-tenancy, and tracking user activity.
Frontegg’s low-code interface ensures that non-developer stakeholders like security teams and customer success managers can navigate and manage the identity workflows that matter to them. This means more flexibility with less engineering time wasted and fewer coding errors.
While FusionAuth is a solid choice for simple authentication, it struggles against more complex identity management scenarios such as multi-tenant architectures, hierarchical user roles, and comprehensive authorization workflows.
Frontegg takes a holistic approach, offering not just authentication but also complex customer identity and authorization capabilities like multi-tenancy, granular user permissions, API access control, and a full self-service admin portal. As your business grows in complexity, Frontegg grows with you.

Low code + pro-code options
FusionAuth provides basic security features like MFA and password policies. However, it lacks essential advanced security features needed to protect against modern identity management threats.
Frontegg is built with security at its core. The low-code Security Suite makes it easy for both information security and engineering teams to gain control over key security practices in your organization. Teams can access comprehensive security dashboards, set organizational level security policies, and enable adaptive MFA — all in one platform.
FusionAuth is a solid choice if all you need is basic authentication. Frontegg gives you all that, but more — all out of the box.
