## Overview

Frontegg is a customer identity platform built specifically for B2B SaaS. Where general CIAM tools treat organizations as an add-on, Frontegg makes the multi-tenant model, account hierarchies, and customer-facing admin experiences first-class, so SaaS teams can ship the identity their enterprise buyers expect without building it.

## What it is good at

B2B depth. Tenants and sub-accounts, granular roles and permissions, and self-serve admin portals are core, and enterprise readiness starts early: its [published pricing](https://frontegg.com/pricing) puts 7,500 monthly active users and 5 enterprise SSO and SCIM connections in the free tier, then meters both as usage grows. Developer experience is strong, with embeddable components and good SDKs, and it added agent-authentication features as the agentic wave grew. For a SaaS company moving upmarket, it removes a lot of identity engineering.

## Where it falls short

The B2B focus is also the limit: it is not aimed at high-volume B2C consumer identity, where per-user economics and social-first onboarding favor others. There is no self-hosted build. Its [pricing page](https://frontegg.com/pricing) lists private deployments on the Enterprise plan but gives no detail, and documents no regional data residency, so confirm both with the vendor if either is a requirement. and it competes in a crowded developer-CIAM field against [WorkOS](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/workos/), [Clerk](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/clerk/), and [Auth0](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/auth0/). Governance and audit are light.

## Pricing

Usage-based with a free tier, scaling by tenants and active users. Reasonable for SaaS startups; validate as your customer count grows.

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere

Choose Frontegg when you sell B2B SaaS and want a rich multi-tenant identity and admin experience out of the box. For enterprise SSO/SCIM as a focused layer choose [WorkOS](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/workos/); for React drop-in UX choose [Clerk](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/clerk/); for B2C scale choose Auth0 or [Stytch](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ciam/stytch/). See [Frontegg vs Auth0](https://startwithidentity.com/compare/frontegg-vs-auth0/).

## Bottom line

A strong, B2B-native CIAM that gives SaaS teams enterprise-grade multi-tenant identity without building it, less suited to consumer scale.
