Identity and SSO platforms hold the keys to your stack. Self-hosted options keep them on your side.

Ory is one of the leading open-source alternatives to Okta in the auth & sso category.

Why consider the swap

If you currently rely on Okta and want more control over data, lower long-term costs, or a open-source licensing model, Ory covers most of the same ground.

What you trade off

Most open-source alternatives require more setup than their commercial counterparts and may lag on polish, mobile apps, or ecosystem integrations. Check the project’s documentation for current feature parity with Okta before committing.
