Official factConfidence 83%2 linked sources

Direct PAYG totals depend on monthly active users, enterprise connections and M2M tokens. The base allowance includes 7,500 MAU and five SSO/SCIM connections. Enterprise adds advanced authorization, security, deployment and support capabilities through a custom quote. AWS Marketplace offers separate 12-month Starter and Growth capacity contracts, priced in USD. Direct fees exclude taxes; usage beyond agreed limits can incur extra charges. Payment schedules and applicable renewal conditions depend on the online subscription or executed Order.

Pricing cautions
  • Enterprise requires a tailored commercial agreement: Obtain a quote covering the selected capabilities, add-ons and support requirements.
  • Usage exceeds the base or contracted allowances: Excess usage may incur additional charges according to the subscription or Order.
  • Direct subscriptions renew and may have non-refundable fees: The general terms provide renewal for the same period and a default 30-day non-renewal notice, subject to the subscription or Order; fee refunds depend on stated exceptions.
  • Tax and channel costs affect the budget: Direct fees exclude applicable taxes. AWS procurement may carry additional infrastructure costs and contract entitlements expire unless renewed or replaced.

How the score is calculated

The score uses the category-specific buying dimensions below and their displayed weights.

This page is based on public product information, official sources, structured feature data, and AI assessment. It is not a hands-on lab test unless explicitly stated. Confidence percentages describe our research indicators, not the probability that a claim is true or a measured accuracy rate.

Why this confidence level
  • Evidence confidence uses source level and claim-to-source support; AI claim confidence is shown separately.
  • Required-field evidence status measures whether weighted required claims have evidence links; it does not mean every product behavior was independently verified.
  • 8 of 8 weighted claims have evidence links.
  • 6 A1 documentary official sources and 3 A2 official product sources are linked.
  • 3 independent review sources are retained, including 0 professional sources with an explicit hands-on method.
  • No weighted claim is past the review window.
  • No blocking evidence conflict was identified.
Customer authentication experience30%
84

Customizable hosted login and listed password, passwordless, social and passkey methods support common customer access journeys, with SSO/SCIM and MFA also listed; the buyer should verify the exact required configuration and contract scope.

Customer auth policy security20%
77

MFA and restrictions for machine-to-machine tokens are listed, while advanced security capabilities are part of Enterprise; teams should confirm which controls their direct plan includes before designing access policies.

Customer profile and identity control20%
84

Tenant and user management, groups and an embedded customer admin portal support account administration, while custom roles, ReBAC and tenant hierarchies are Enterprise capabilities that require matching the quote to the intended control model.

Consent and privacy readiness15%
68

Consent management is listed for Enterprise rather than Pay as you go, making the quote boundary material for applications that must capture customer consent; the supplied facts do not establish wider regulatory coverage.

Scale and developer fit15%
78

The Pay as you go offer includes 7,500 monthly active users, five enterprise connections and one environment before usage or plan changes, while Enterprise offers unlimited environments; buyers should forecast connection and identity usage against the chosen contract.

Frontegg fits B2B SaaS teams and B2C applications that need customer authentication, tenant-aware administration and customizable hosted login. Its direct Pay as you go allowance covers a defined level of monthly active users and enterprise connections, while multiple environments, consent management and custom authorization are Enterprise needs. Before committing, confirm the usage meters and the exact direct or AWS Marketplace contract, including renewal and overage terms.
