Autional is the identity layer for AI-generated applications. It provides authentication, authorization, multi-tenancy, enterprise SSO, and compliance — all backed by 27 microservices and 1,400+ APIs.

Auth0 is a closed-source SaaS. Autional open-sources its portals, design system, and SDKs, with the core identity services available under a commercial license for private deployment — and it's designed specifically for AI-generated applications.

The open-source components (portals, design system, SDKs) are free to self-host; the core identity services are available under a commercial license for private deployment (supports Docker/Podman compose or Kubernetes, running on PostgreSQL + MongoDB + Redis + RabbitMQ). Cloud hosting is on the roadmap (coming soon).

Apps built with tools like Bolt.new, Lovable.dev, Cursor, Claude Code, or Replit. These tools generate application code rapidly. Autional provides the identity layer so your generated app doesn't need to reinvent authentication.
