Overview
Permit.io provides a full-stack authorization platform with policy management, a no-code UI, and SDKs, built on open-source engines like OPA and OPAL.
Capability deep-dive
Breadth across RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC plus a friendly UI and developer tooling are the strengths, abstracting the underlying engines. The abstraction adds a dependency, and very advanced users may prefer running the engines directly.
Pricing
Free tier plus usage-based paid plans.
Bottom line
A strong pick for teams that want authorization as a managed, multi-model layer.
