Google Cloud Identity vs Logto
Both stand on passkey authentication software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Cloud Identity combines identity federation, app SSO, device management, and provisioning in a central service. The Free edition has an initial 50-license allocation, while Premium adds enterprise features and its listed support and SLA.
Visit Google Cloud IdentityChoose Logto if you need authentication and authorization for an app or SaaS product, with options for cloud or self-hosting and broad developer tooling. Look elsewhere if the Free plan’s application and connector caps are too restrictive, or if you need multiple administrators on self-hosted OSS.
