Overview
Asgardeo is WSO2's identity-as-a-service. It provides drop-in UI components and SDKs for React, Next.js, Vue and Nuxt, an AI-assisted visual flow editor, social and passwordless login (magic links, OTP, passkeys), MFA and adaptive authentication, RBAC, and organizations with team invites and enterprise SSO for B2B apps. It can also connect to LDAP or Active Directory user stores behind corporate firewalls.
Plans are split by use case. The B2C free tier covers 7,500 consumer MAU but limits you to two social logins and two MFA methods, three admins and five applications, and shows 'Powered by Asgardeo'. Essentials starts at $20 a month for 1,000 MAU with a custom domain, while Professional at $160 a month for 1,000 MAU adds branding, enterprise SAML/OIDC logins, unlimited and adaptive MFA and a remote user store.
B2B plans have a free tier of 250 MAU with three sub-organizations and a Professional plan from $455 a month for 500 MAU. Workforce SSO is free for 50 employees and then $2.50 per MAU. If you prefer to self-host, WSO2 offers an open-source identity server for Kubernetes, Docker and Helm.
