Pick LoginRadius when

  • Consumer apps needing social login + MFA
  • Mid-market retail and e-commerce
  • Regulated industries like banking
  • Teams wanting CIAM, not workforce IAM

When LoginRadius is not a fit

  • Small apps . an auth library or Auth0 is simpler
  • Workforce/employee SSO . that's Okta territory
  • Buyers needing published, predictable pricing
  • Teams wanting broad feature depth beyond core CIAM

Pick Stytch when

  • SaaS teams adding login without an identity team
  • B2B SaaS needing org-level auth
  • Apps adopting passkeys and modern MFA
  • AI products securing agents and connected apps

When Stytch is not a fit
