Veriam vs. Frontegg

Frontegg is a developer-first customer identity and access management (CIAM) platform designed for SaaS applications. It provides authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and user management features specifically tailored for software products that need to implement customer authentication quickly.
However, Frontegg is primarily focused on B2B SaaS authentication but lacks built-in subscription management, invoicing, and advanced policy-based authorization for external business users. It is a great solution for embedding authentication into SaaS applications but does not address the full spectrum of B2B identity and access needs, especially in multi-stakeholder environments.
This is where Veriam differentiates itself. Veriam is a cloud-native IAM and subscription management solution, designed for B2B authentication, flexible authorization models, and built-in billing capabilities. While Frontegg is ideal for SaaS user authentication, Veriam expands beyond that to include external business user identity, policy-based access control, and integrated subscription monetization.

How Veriam enhances Frontegg

- Expand beyond SaaS authentication into enterprise B2B identity management.
