Udibo vs Stytch
Stytch gives you a pay-as-you-go plan from $0 with 10,000 monthly active users and AI agents, five SSO or SCIM connections, passkeys, and prebuilt components. Udibo gives you hosted sign-in behind a standard OAuth 2.0 boundary, with organizations, custom roles, and per-resource permissions checked on Udibo's servers, on Free and on the $5 plan. The difference that decides most evaluations: Stytch is the stronger choice when enterprise SSO, SCIM, or passkeys are on the launch list, and Udibo is the one to evaluate when the hard part of your product is who may do what to which record, and when per-connection and branding fees would otherwise add up.
Checked September 7, 2026 against Stytch's pricing page. Udibo Identity is in private beta, and its prices are a preview, not an adopted rate card.
The short version
| If you need | Start with |
|---|---|
| SAML or SCIM for your first enterprise customers | Stytch, with five connections included |
| Passkeys | Stytch; Udibo does not offer hosted passkeys today |
| Prebuilt login and admin-portal components inside your app | Stytch |
| Custom roles and permissions on a tenant, an organization, or one resource | Udibo |
| Your name and logo on the sign-in pages with no vendor badge and no add-on fee | Udibo |
| A published price past 10,000 monthly users | Udibo; Stytch's rate above its allowance is not published on its pricing page |
| A production dependency available today without beta access | Stytch, until the Udibo hosted service opens to the public |
Why teams pick Udibo over Stytch
Permissions your server can enforce, down to one record. Udibo lets you register the permission strings your application interprets, attach them to roles across a tenant, inside an organization, or on one resource, and ask a hosted check (single or batched) for the answer. Stytch's RBAC defines resources, actions, and roles for an organization's members; its guide describes resource types rather than grants on one instance (Stytch RBAC overview).
No per-connection fee for OpenID Connect providers. Stytch includes five SSO or SCIM connections and charges $125 for each one after that. Udibo lets a tenant add any number of OpenID Connect providers, alongside Google, GitHub, Discord, and Apple, at no per-connection fee. The limit is real, though: those providers are tenant-wide sign-in options, not connections bound to one customer organization, and Udibo has no SAML or SCIM today.
Your brand at the door without an add-on. Your name, logo, and colors go on the hosted pages with no vendor badge on any plan, and sending from your own email provider is never metered. Stytch lists "Full email customization and Stytch brand removal ($99)" as an add-on.
A published rate when you grow. Above the allowance, Udibo's preview rate is $3 per 1,000 retained users. Stytch's pricing page includes 10,000 monthly active users and AI agents, then points to volume discounts and a sales contact; the rate past the allowance is not published on the page.
A record you can take with you, on Free. At least 90 days of audit history on every plan, exportable as CSV or NDJSON, plus signed webhooks with retries and redrive. Stytch's pricing page does not publish log retention.
A standards boundary instead of a vendor SDK. Your application talks to Udibo through OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, with discovery, JWKS, introspection, and refresh-token rotation, and with the active organization and its roles in the token. Any OpenID Connect client works, and leaving means changing an issuer rather than rewriting components.
Why Stytch may still be the right choice
Enterprise identity on day one. Stytch's pay-as-you-go plan includes five SSO or SCIM connections, SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect, SCIM provisioning with automatic role management, and just-in-time provisioning by email domain. Udibo has none of this in a per-organization form today: no SAML, no SCIM, and no routing of a sign-in to an organization's own identity provider.
Passkeys and a wider factor list. Stytch documents passkeys, TOTP, and OTP over SMS, WhatsApp, and email (Stytch MFA overview). Udibo's multi-factor authentication is authenticator apps with recovery codes, and it does not offer hosted passkeys.
Prebuilt UI. Stytch ships components for login and an admin portal. Udibo hosts the sign-in pages and returns to your app; the account screens inside your product are yours to build.
Generally available, with a larger free allowance. Stytch can be adopted today, with 10,000 monthly active users and AI agents and 1,000 M2M tokens included, and an Enterprise plan listing a 99.99% uptime SLA, HIPAA/BAA, and migration support. Udibo Identity is in private beta.
Pricing side by side
Stytch's published page and Udibo's pricing preview, same date. The two count people differently. Stytch bills monthly active users and AI agents. Udibo bills retained users: "A person who returns more than 24 hours after signing up." Model your own month on both before comparing totals.
| You need | Udibo (preview) | Stytch |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | 500 retained users, 25,000 hosted permission checks, 1,000 emails | Pay as you go from $0: 10,000 monthly active users and AI agents, 5 SSO or SCIM connections, 1,000 M2M tokens |
| First paid plan | $5 a month plus usage: 5,000 users, 250,000 checks, 10,000 emails included | No fixed paid tier; usage above the allowance, then Enterprise at a custom price |
| Multi-factor authentication | Included on Free | Included in Pay as you go |
| Custom roles and permissions | Included on Free; tenant, organization, or one resource | RBAC included; roles for an organization's members |
| Organizations and members | No cap | "Unlimited Organizations" |
| Remove vendor branding | Included on Free | "Full email customization and Stytch brand removal ($99)" |
| Custom session policy | Included on Free | Not published on the pricing page |
| Enterprise SSO connections | No per-connection fee for OpenID Connect providers; SAML and SCIM not available | 5 SSO or SCIM connections included, then $125 per connection |
| Audit or log history | At least 90 days on every plan, exportable as CSV or NDJSON | Not published on the pricing page |
| Sign-in email | 2 per retained user included, then $1 per 1,000; your own sender is never metered | Not published on the pricing page; the $99 add-on covers full email customization |
| Users beyond the allowance | $3 per 1,000 retained users | Not published on the pricing page ("Volume discounts", "Contact Sales") |
| Hosted permission checks | $10 per 1,000,000 past the allowance | Not a priced unit on the pricing page |
Three worked examples, with the same assumptions on both sides:
| Scenario | Udibo (preview) | Stytch |
|---|---|---|
| B2B app: 200 users, 8 enterprise identity providers | $0 on Free or $5 on Standard if all eight speak OpenID Connect and tenant-wide provider buttons are acceptable; SAML and SCIM are not available | $375: five connections included, three more at the printed $125 per connection |
| Consumer app: 10,000 users, 5,000 sign-in emails, your branding on the pages and emails | $20 (Standard base plus 5,000 users above the allowance) | $0 within the 10,000 allowance, plus the $99 brand-removal and email-customization add-on (billing period not stated on the page) |
| Consumer app at 100,000 users | About $290 (Standard base plus 95,000 users above the allowance), with sign-in email inside the allowance or from your own sender | Not published on the pricing page above 10,000 monthly active users; volume discounts by quote |
Sources: Stytch pricing, Stytch SSO overview, and Udibo's pricing preview. Both change; check the vendor's current page before you decide.
Cost at scale
Users only, same definition on both sides, on the plan that gives you MFA and your own branding. Udibo's figures are preview rates; the vendor's are its published list on the date above.
| Users | Udibo (preview) | Stytch |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | $5 (Standard) | $0 |
| 10,000 | $20 | $0 |
| 100,000 | About $290 | Not published above 10,000; volume by quote |
| 1,000,000 | About $2,990 | Not published; volume by quote |
Stytch's page prints the first 10,000 users and the per-connection and branding add-ons, and leaves the user rate above that to a quote. Ask for it before you compare at scale.
What the integration looks like
With Udibo, register an application and its callback, send people to the hosted sign-in page, and finish the authorization-code flow on your server. Your backend holds the session and the browser gets a cookie, never a token. The first-login guide walks each checkpoint, and the organizations and permissions guides cover a person with a different role in each of two organizations.
With Stytch, you pick the consumer or B2B product line, then integrate through its API, its SDKs, or its prebuilt components; the B2B line models customer organizations explicitly and a SAML or OIDC connection is created for one organization (Stytch overview, B2B organizations, create a SAML connection).
Neither approach removes your responsibility to protect application data on the server. A valid session says who someone is; your backend still decides what they may read. Udibo's concepts guide separates your identity tenant, client applications, and customer organizations.
Where Udibo needs a closer look
Udibo does not currently offer hosted passkeys, SAML, or SCIM, and its OpenID Connect providers apply to the whole tenant rather than to one customer organization. Do not assume a device-intelligence or fraud service is included in Udibo's login flow. Dashboard-driven custom domains are not available today. Tenant-management calls need administrator credentials rather than an application's machine token. If your product needs a particular account-management screen, test that whole journey before committing; a successful login alone does not establish parity.
Moving an existing Stytch application
Write down whether the current integration uses consumer users or B2B members, how discovery chooses an organization, and where sessions are checked. Map those concepts to your application's own user IDs, record the mapping from the old subject to the new one, and do not use email alone as an automatic account-linking rule. Replace one server-side authentication boundary first, then account UI and organization selection. Treat enterprise connections, SCIM provisioning, and device-risk decisions as separate work checked against Udibo's present limits. Password hashes, MFA enrollment, passkeys, and sessions do not move with a profile; plan a re-enrollment path. See migration planning and user import.
Try next: complete one Udibo login, build your smallest real access check with the permissions guide, and use the migration checklist to measure the remaining work. On the waitlist, the agent integration brief lets your coding assistant prepare the integration meanwhile.
Frequently asked questions
Is Udibo cheaper than Stytch? Under 10,000 users with five or fewer enterprise connections and Stytch's branding, Stytch is free. Past five connections it is $125 each, and removing its branding is a $99 add-on; Udibo charges for neither. Above 10,000 users Stytch's rate is not published, so compare quotes.
Does Udibo have prebuilt components like Stytch? No. Udibo hosts the sign-in pages and returns to your app through OAuth 2.0; account and admin screens inside your product are yours to build.
Does Udibo support SAML, SCIM, or passkeys like Stytch? Not today. Udibo connects to any OpenID Connect provider with no per-connection fee; SAML, SCIM, and hosted passkeys are not available.
Can I move from Stytch to Udibo? Profiles and OpenID Connect identities can be imported and linked by subject; passwordless users need no hash. MFA enrollments, passkeys, and sessions do not move. See migration planning.
