- Auth0 prices on tiered-mau; Ping Identity prices on tiered-mau. See the pricing comparison table on this page for our editorial estimates at 10k / 100k / 500k / 1M MAU using the standard methodology assumptions.
- Should I switch from Auth0 to Ping Identity?
- Switching is a 60–90 day exercise in either direction once SDK rewrites and hooks/Actions migration are accounted for. If your team is hitting cost or feature ceilings on Auth0, evaluate Ping Identity on the specific axes flagged in the "When Ping Identity wins" list. If you're operating well within Auth0, the switching cost rarely pays back.
- Do Auth0 and Ping Identity both support passkeys?
- Both Auth0 and Ping Identity support WebAuthn passkeys natively per public documentation. Adoption rates depend on orchestration quality (device-aware prompting, conditional UI), not raw protocol support, see the passwordless guide for the orchestration question.
