## The honest comparison

Both aim at B2B SaaS teams, and both remove identity work you would otherwise build. The difference is how much of the stack they take on. [Frontegg](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/frontegg/) is a B2B identity platform: login, tenants and sub-accounts, roles and permissions, and self-serve admin portals your customers run themselves, with enterprise SSO and [SCIM](https://startwithidentity.com/standards/scim-2-0/) available from the free tier rather than reserved for a paid plan. SSOJet is the enterprise-readiness slice on its own, SAML, OIDC, and SCIM, dropped into an application that already has authentication.

That framing decides most evaluations. If you are designing a multi-tenant product and want the identity model handed to you, Frontegg is the fuller answer. If you already have login working and one enterprise customer is asking for SAML, buying a whole platform to satisfy that is more change than the requirement warrants. Weigh also that SSOJet is a 2024 entrant with a thin reference base. Neither offers a self-hosted build, but on residency they differ: SSOJet publishes 11 regions on Enterprise and Frontegg documents none.

## When Frontegg wins

- Multi-tenant accounts, hierarchies, and entitlements are core to your product
- You want customer-facing admin portals without building them
- Selling enterprise SSO as a paid upgrade inside your own product is part of your commercial model, and you want entitlements to enforce it
- You want a longer commercial track record than an emerging vendor can show

## When SSOJet wins

- Authentication already works and you only need SAML, OIDC, and SCIM
- Replacing your user model to gain SSO is more disruption than you want
- Your active-user count is large relative to your enterprise-customer count, so billing on connections beats billing on monthly active users
- Time to a working SSO connection is the deciding constraint

## Pricing

Frontegg publishes usage-based pricing that scales by tenants and active users. Its free pay-as-you-go tier bundles a monthly-active-user allowance with a small number of enterprise connections, listed as 7,500 monthly active users and 5 enterprise connections for SSO and SCIM, so federation is available before you pay anything and the bill rises on both units past those allowances ([Frontegg pricing](https://frontegg.com/pricing)). SSOJet's published rates run on connections and active organizations instead, so the bill tracks how many enterprise customers you sign rather than how many end users or tenants you have. Because the two bill on different units, the comparison only becomes real once you plug in your tenant and enterprise-customer counts, which the [TCO calculator](https://startwithidentity.com/tools/tco-calculator/) does.

## Verdict

Choose [Frontegg](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/frontegg/) when tenancy, roles, and customer administration are part of the requirement, not just federation. Choose [SSOJet](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/ssojet/) when enterprise SSO and SCIM are the whole brief and you accept an emerging vendor to get there faster and cheaper. See [WorkOS vs Frontegg](https://startwithidentity.com/compare/workos-vs-frontegg/) for the same platform-versus-layer split with an established layer, and [WorkOS vs SSOJet](https://startwithidentity.com/compare/workos-vs-ssojet/) for the head-to-head between the two layers.
