Who is this best for?

This is the fastest way to decide whether Firebase Authentication is in the right neighborhood.

Best for
  • Mobile-first products needing fast, reliable authentication
  • Web apps already using Firebase services
  • Consumer apps with standard login providers
  • Teams that want minimal backend identity maintenance
  • Products where enterprise SSO is not a near-term requirement
Who should avoid
  • You need enterprise SSO and provisioning as a core requirement
  • You need sophisticated B2B org/role governance out of the box
  • You require deep customization of identity flows and policies
  • You want cloud-provider neutrality
  • Your buyer requires formal identity governance controls
