The Keycloak alternative built for scale, not stress
Keycloak is free…until it isn’t. From endless maintenance to missing enterprise features, Keycloak drains your dev team. Frontegg gives you modern CIAM, ready out of the box.
Keycloak gives you the basics but leaves you chasing plugins and patches. Frontegg delivers full CIAM with SSO, SCIM, org hierarchies, and dashboards ready from day one.
Both Frontegg and Auth0 offer authentication. But Frontegg offers a full self-service login box, while Keycloak requires more dev work.
