ZITADEL
Identity infrastructure, simplified
ZITADEL is an identity infrastructure platform for developers that handles authentication, authorization, and user management for consumer, business, and employee users. It provides a customizable hosted login page, prebuilt identity provider templates for social logins, multifactor authentication, passkeys, and role-based access control. Multi-tenancy is supported through organizations and project grants, and ZITADEL Actions runs workflows after predefined events without deploying code. The platform exposes contracted gRPC and REST APIs, supports building a custom login UI, and manages identities for machines and service accounts.
ZITADEL is packaged as a free plan with unlimited users and organizations, a Pro cloud plan with a monthly included allotment of daily active users, and an Enterprise edition for cloud or self-hosted deployment with custom terms. Data residency options include the EU, US, Switzerland, and Australia. It is aimed at developers and organizations integrating identity into their applications.
