PROPELAUTH VS. COGNITO

Auth tools should save you time not waste your time

You're using an auth provider because you want to take work off of your team's plate, not add to it. PropelAuth gets you everything you need, right out of the box. Cognito gets you... more sprint tasks.

PROPELAUTH VS. COGNITO

Great auth. Out of the box.

PropelAuth

PropelAuth understands that you shouldn't need to become an auth expert to give your users a great, secure experience. We take care of all of the details, so you don't have to deep dive into obscure terminology just to get up and running.

Cognito

Cognito is a heavy solution - practically designed for people who already know quite a bit about auth. The documentation is lacking, and requires quite a bit of cross-referencing to figure out.

B2B is our
business
