  • Stop missing critical integrations with WorkOS’s limitations

    It only supports authentication within its own ecosystem. No external app integrations.
  • You’re limited to WorkOS’s built-in integrations
    There’s no support for OIDC or SAML-based login flows outside of what WorkOS provides. Frontegg integrates with any platform, anywhere
Connect any app via OIDC/SAML: Circle, Zendesk, Tableau and 100+ more.
  • Supports enterprise-grade OIDC and SAML security protocols
    Frontegg replaces multiple auth tools as your single, cost-effective IDP.
  • Designed for flexible, multi-app environments
    Escape vendor lock-in: Frontegg adapts to your existing architecture.
