Keep sub-organization management simple by reusing domain names when you need to, whereas WorkOS forces you to have a unique one each time. Use as many SSO connections per organization as you want, no arbitrarily strict 1-1 mapping. ![Organization first auth](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/3jwyzebk/production/36c622f30c9cbdfd0320a07f7057aae7fe0f6dca-1596x1085.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=3840&q=75) ![SSO Select](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/3jwyzebk/production/61239ad6e3e2b0b11f24bd91dc0cefef95d059cd-1088x1220.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=3840&q=75) Create the exact SSO experience you need, no unnecessary roadblocks Your customers can connect as many IDPs to log into their organization as needed to support their whole employee base, while WorkOS limits you to one per organization. Stytch also allows you to set up MFA on your SSO connections natively, unlike WorkOS which requires you to set that up on your IDP. ## Lower friction UX. Higher-converting signups Faster, more secure auth methods Modern, passwordless options to improve conversion, like Google One Tap, which WorkOS simply doesn’t offer. Simplified org discovery and login flow With **opt-in** just-in-time provisioning by validated email domain, self serve organization creation and surfacing of pending invites. An admin portal that actually saves you time. Don’t struggle with static “widgets” Unlike WorkOS, which makes you generate one-time links for every customer-requested SSO change, Stytch lets you embed a self-service admin portal right into your app. Admins can easily manage features like SCIM on their own and provide RBAC-enforced permissions in a framework-agnostic design. No tickets. No links. No React lock-in—just native AuthN/AuthZ management, right from your app. ![Admin portal](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/3jwyzebk/production/1d687765f08a4a67833203cf1487bf348acf6fc5-952x724.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1920&q=75) ![Tome Login](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/3jwyzebk/production/0ec0704939a24c4570057fc9224eacbdd2b24b69-600x929.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1200&q=75) Customize your UI without relying on backend APIs WorkOS provides you an all or nothing approach to your UI: choosing between AuthKit for a rigid uncustomizable approach, or a fully backend API built approach. Stytch provides headless SDKs for you to easily add components to your existing brand style. ## What engineering teams are saying At Tome, we care deeply about delivering a great UX across the board, and auth is no exception.
