| description.long | Better Auth is an open-source framework for building authentication directly into TypeScript applications using code-based configuration. It provides 50+ authentication methods and integrates with 20+ JavaScript frameworks, supporting features like social login, passkeys, multi-factor authentication, and enterprise capabilities such as SAML and SCIM. Optional managed infrastructure adds audit logging, security monitoring, and user management dashboards. | TrueCaaS is a multi-tenant identity and authorization control plane for SaaS applications, enterprise applications, APIs, and AI agents. It provides authentication, enterprise federation, application-level roles and privileges, runtime authorization and entitlement decisions, machine and agent identities, governance, and audit trails through a centralized platform.

TrueCaaS complements existing identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and enterprise directories rather than requiring organizations to replace them. Applications can authenticate users through TrueCaaS and make real-time authorization decisions based on the tenant, application, identity, requested action, privileges, and surrounding context.

Built around a Tenant → Environment → Application architecture, TrueCaaS is designed for organizations building multi-tenant SaaS platforms, customer and partner applications, enterprise applications, APIs, and agentic systems that need consistent identity and authorization without rebuilding those capabilities inside every application. |
