Auth · working at 10,000 users · rates as read 29 Sept 2026
On free tier, Stytch is $0 / Month: 10,000 monthly active users and PropelAuth is $0: includes 10,000 MAUs. On cheapest paid plan, Stytch is $0 / Month (Pay as you go) and PropelAuth is $150 /month (Growth). On rate above what's included, Stytch is $125/connection above the 5 included, $.005/fingerprint and PropelAuth is $0.05 per user above 10,000, $100/connection for SSO. StackTab sells neither of these and takes no referral fee on either: it scores them. Every figure was read off the named company's own page on or since 2026-09-28; the URLs and the dates are at the foot of this page, and a job re-fetches each one on a schedule and fails when a figure is no longer on the page it came from.

Stytch: Fraud and bot traffic are the actual problem, not sign-in. Stytch is the only provider here that ships device fingerprinting as a first-class metered product alongside authentication, with 10,000 fingerprints included, and it gates no features behind a tier. PropelAuth: Your product is B2B and organisations, roles and per-tenant settings are the hard part rather than the login box. PropelAuth is built around that shape from the start, and it publishes both the per-user rate and the per-connection SSO price, so the bill at a hundred customers is arithmetic rather than a phone call.
StackTab does not sell any of these and has nothing to gain from which one you choose: it scores them. Each case below is the one that option genuinely wins.

Prices and limits move, and a page quoting a stale one is worth less than a page quoting none. Every source is printed here so a reader can check it against the day they are reading this, and a job re-fetches each of these URLs on a schedule and fails when a figure above no longer appears on the page it came from.
