Duende IdentityServer alternative
The Duende IdentityServer alternative for SaaS teams
Authagonal gives you enterprise SSO, SCIM, MFA, audit logs and branded login — every feature on every plan, with no per-connection fees.
Why teams move off Duende IdentityServer
- You host, patch, scale and secure it, so identity becomes your team’s operational burden.
- SAML is a paid add-on, and the admin portal, MFA and audit logs are yours to build.
- Licensing starts around $5,750/yr per production deployment, on top of the engineering time.
