Tool profile
Open-source identity platform for authentication, organizations, SSO, MFA, machine-to-machine auth, and developer-controlled CIAM deployments.
Customer identity and access management
Logto belongs in the catalog because identity teams increasingly want an alternative to closed, enterprise-heavy auth vendors without stepping down to toy infrastructure. The official positioning is clear: Logto is an open-source auth platform designed for modern customer identity and access management, with support for sign-in, organizations, multi-tenancy, MFA, enterprise SSO, and machine-to-machine scenarios. That combination makes it relevant to builders who need serious auth capabilities but still care about control and implementation flexibility.
It also deserves inclusion because the public pricing is refreshingly legible. Logto publishes a Free tier at $0 and a Pro plan at $24 per month, with Enterprise handled separately. The company also documents meaningful included allowances, such as MAU and token limits, rather than hiding everything behind a sales call. For a category famous for complexity, that level of clarity is especially useful.
Quick fit
Editorial take
Logto should be framed as a serious auth platform with open-source credibility, not merely as a cheaper auth clone. The most important evaluation questions are around deployment fit, org and SSO depth, and whether the open-source foundation materially improves trust and flexibility.
