How this list is ordered. Specifiction scores each tool on how fully its maker documents it, whether its prices are published, where the research puts it, the platforms it runs on and whether it can be tried for free (how we rank). Makers can also buy a numbered place (how Specifiction is paid for).

Free plan availability and the point where paid pricing begins can help narrow the options, too. HYPR Authenticate, Descope, and SuperTokens are among the software ranked here; the ordering reflects the listed comparisons across passwordless methods and integration features.
