# 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](https://stytch.com/pricing). Udibo's prices are on its [pricing page](https://www.udibo.com/pricing). **Pricing calculator, Udibo usage assumptions, and API access reviewed October 2, 2026.** Stytch's 20,000-user estimate and monthly branding charge below were checked in its live calculator. Other vendor feature and integration claims use the September 7 review. ## 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 | | Retained-user billing with a published overage rate | Udibo; Stytch's calculator estimates selected monthly-active-user workloads | ## 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](https://stytch.com/docs/b2b/guides/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 billed by Udibo. Stytch's calculator shows a $99/month add-on for brand removal and full email customization. - **A retained-user rate for planning growth.** Above the allowance, Udibo's rate is $3 per 1,000 retained users. Stytch's calculator gives estimates for selected monthly-active-user workloads; see the 20,000-user example below. Larger workloads require a quote. - **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. Use an OpenID Connect client that supports your application's flow. A shared protocol reduces sign-in coupling; changing provider still needs identity mapping, session changes, and a review of claims and permissions. ## 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](https://stytch.com/docs/guides/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. - **A larger free allowance and an Enterprise SLA.** Stytch includes 10,000 monthly active users and AI agents and 1,000 M2M tokens, and its Enterprise plan lists a 99.99% uptime SLA, HIPAA/BAA, and migration support. Udibo publishes no SLA. ## Pricing side by side The Stytch calculator estimates below were checked October 2, 2026, alongside Udibo's pricing assumptions. Other Stytch claims retain the September 7 review. The two count people differently. Stytch bills monthly active users and AI agents. Udibo prices retained users: "A person who returns more than 24 hours after creating their account counts once in that UTC calendar month." Model your own month on both before comparing totals. | You need | Udibo | 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: your name on hosted pages and in email content; mail comes from your domain once you connect your own sender | Brand removal and full email customization: $99/month in the calculator | | 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 | Free: 1,000 emails. Standard: 10,000, then $1 per 1,000; your own sender is counted but not billed | No separate email-usage rate published on the pricing page; the $99/month add-on covers full customization | | Users beyond the allowance | $3 per 1,000 retained users | Calculator estimates $2,000/month at 20,000 users in the configuration below; larger workloads by quote | | Hosted permission checks | $10 per 1,000,000 past the allowance | Not a priced unit on the pricing page | Four worked examples. User counts assume everyone is active that month and returns more than 24 hours after creating their account; connection capabilities differ: | Scenario | Udibo | 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 in email content | $20 (Standard base plus 5,000 users above the allowance) | Users are within the printed 10,000 allowance; branding and full email customization add $99/month, before any other usage | | 20,000 users, branding add-on off | $50 (Standard's $5 base plus 15,000 users at $3 per 1,000), with email and hosted checks inside their allowances | $2,000/month estimated by the live calculator at the inputs below | | 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 | Quote required; no 100,000-user estimate was available in the calculator | The 20,000-user Stytch estimate used B2B mode, one SSO connection, one SCIM connection, 500 M2M tokens, and the branding add-on off. Consumer mode also showed $2,000/month at 20,000 users. These are calculator estimates, not contract prices or a per-user formula. Its starting inputs are not its printed free allowances. Sources: [Stytch pricing](https://stytch.com/pricing), [Stytch SSO overview](https://stytch.com/docs/b2b/guides/sso/overview), and Udibo's [pricing page](https://www.udibo.com/pricing). Both change; check the vendor's current page before you decide. ## Cost at scale Users only, assuming every person is active during the month and returns more than 24 hours after creating their account. This makes Stytch's monthly-active and Udibo's retained-user counts equal for the example; their billing definitions differ. These rows assume Stytch's SSO/SCIM and M2M usage stays within its included allowances. They exclude its $99/month branding and email-customization add-on, as well as Udibo email and hosted-check overages. The $0 Stytch rows retain its branding. | Users | Udibo | Stytch | | --------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | 1,000 | $5 (Standard) | $0 | | 10,000 | $20 | $0 | | 20,000 | $50 | $2,000/month calculator estimate at the inputs above | | 100,000 | About $290 | Quote required | | 1,000,000 | About $2,990 | Not published; volume by quote | The 20,000-user estimate does not establish a rate for other user counts. Request a quote for the larger workloads rather than extending it into a per-user formula. ## 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](https://www.udibo.com/docs/identity/get-started) walks each checkpoint, and the [organizations](https://www.udibo.com/docs/identity/organizations) and [permissions](https://www.udibo.com/docs/identity/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](https://stytch.com/docs/get-started/overview), [B2B organizations](https://stytch.com/docs/api-reference/b2b/api/organizations/overview), [create a SAML connection](https://stytch.com/docs/b2b/api/create-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](https://www.udibo.com/docs/identity/concepts) 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. Custom domains for the hosted pages are not available yet. Customers administer tenants through the dashboard today; there is no self-serve management API credential for a script or backend. See the [API guide](https://www.udibo.com/docs/identity/apis#the-management-api). 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 in a supported format import and upgrade on first sign-in; MFA enrollment, passkeys, and sessions do not move, so plan a re-enrollment path.

Its [pricing page](https://stytch.com/pricing) lists $125 for each additional connection and a $99/month add-on for brand removal. Udibo includes hosted-page branding without an extra fee and has no connection charge for tenant-wide OpenID Connect sign-in options. It does not offer organization-specific routing, SAML, or SCIM, so it cannot replace connections that need those features. Udibo also prices usage above its Free allowances on Standard. Compare the worked calculator estimate above, request a quote for larger workloads, and include email, hosted checks, and other usage in both bills. **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](https://www.udibo.com/docs/identity/migrate). _Last verified 2026-10-02._
