VERDICT

Should I use Frontegg?

Secure every entry point with Frontegg, the first identity layer for agentic SaaS. Protect APIs and scale with enterprise-grade CIAM. - frontegg.com

Depends. Buy it if you run a B2B SaaS with multi-tenant customers, enterprise SSO demands, and a dev team to integrate it. Skip it if you just need logins for a simple app — a cheaper auth provider does that job for less.

Best for

  • Agentic AI SaaS needing API identity

Not for

  • Simple consumer apps — full CIAM is overkill
  • Bootstrapped MVPs watching every dollar
  • Teams that just need a hosted login page
  • WordPress-only SSO needs
