Qeetid vs. Auth0
Auth0 is the enterprise CIAM market leader, acquired by Okta in 2021. It excels at federation and is widely adopted; choose Qeetid when you want open-source code, single-tenant deployment, and pricing that scales linearly with users.

Same protocols. Fewer surprises on the bill.
Qeetid speaks every OAuth / OIDC / SAML / SCIM dialect Auth0 does. The difference is transparency — the code, the pricing, and where your data lives.
- MIT-licensed core you can self-host on your own infrastructure.
- Linear per-MAU pricing without sudden tier breakpoints.
- Single-tenant deploy option for healthcare, public sector, and on-prem teams.
