Frontegg vs WorkOS

Both target B2B SaaS, but they answer different parts of the question.

The one-line difference

Frontegg is a B2B user-management platform: login, multi-tenancy, roles and entitlements, and a self-service admin experience for your customers. WorkOS focuses on enterprise readiness as APIs: SSO, SCIM, and an admin portal, priced per connection.

Where Frontegg wins

  • End-to-end B2B user management with tenants, roles, and entitlements
  • Self-service admin surfaces your customers’ admins can use
  • Broader application-side identity beyond enterprise connectors

Where WorkOS wins

  • Tightly scoped enterprise SSO and directory sync, fast to ship
  • Per-connection pricing aligned to enterprise deals
  • Clean, well-documented APIs for the enterprise checklist

The honest call

If you need a full B2B user-management layer (tenants, roles, admin portals), Frontegg covers more. If you mainly need to add enterprise SSO and SCIM quickly to close deals, WorkOS is the tighter, cheaper-to-start fit. See best CIAM for B2B SaaS and the matcher.
