What do you like best about Stytch?

Stytch was very quick to implement and has had an immediate impact on our product. The authentication flow is fast — OTP emails are delivered in seconds, significantly faster than our previous provider — and the benefits are self-evident in our improved conversion metrics since migrating to Stytch.

The Stytch team is top-notch and has been a valuable partner from the start. Questions are answered promptly, and the team delivers quickly on feature requests and improvements. They've been a joy to work with.

Pricing is also extremely reasonable and growth-friendly. We're confident we've made the right choice by moving to Stytch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stytch?

Really don't have much negative to say. While integrating, we came across a couple features that weren't fully detailed in the documentation, but the team was very quick to address our questions and amend the docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stytch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stytch enables us to implement best-in-class user authentication without devoting significant time and resources. User authentication is a sensitive, complex domain, and Stytch takes care of the underlying implementation, reliability, security, and other aspects that would require significant investment to build and maintain in-house.

Fair pricing.

A lot of updates from Stych dev team and constant product support.

Great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stytch?

When we implemented Stytch, there was no possibility of deleting our test users in 1 click. So, we needed to clean manually all of our test users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stytch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Users of our platform have no need to remember passwords and the dev team didn't implement "reset password" logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stytch?

Stytch's API documentation is complete and easy to reason about, the examples by language (like Ruby for example) use the syntax for the available library, instead of just generic HTTP requests/responses objects. That makes it very easy to use and integrate into an existing authentication workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stytch?

To reason about some patterns, like using JWTs and session tokens in order to refresh a user's session is not so clear when you first start using Stytch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stytch solving and how is that benefiting you?

By replacing most of our custom-made authentication codebase with Stytch, we're adding extra layers of security into the whole process. Besides that, we'll have improved bot detection, and reduced user login issues, like resetting passwords, setting up 2FA, etc. We also expect to see a reduced ability of external attacks due to Stytch's built-in protection tools.

What do you like best about Stytch?

You can tell Stytch was crafted by people who have thought about this problem deeply and attacked it from a fresh perspective and codebase leveraging everything they learned the first 10 times they did it. The SDK / interface is simple and clear, and encapsulates best practices without a thought. It was easy to get going, and they have transparent and fair pricing for us we scale. They also have excellent support via Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stytch?

Some of their platform is less configurable than I'd ideally like - they tend to make strong security decisions for you and not allow you to loosen them, even if it may make business sense for your application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stytch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not having to reinvent the wheel and build this ourselves, or pay for an alternative solution that is overcomplicated and too expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stytch?

Straight forward API that is easy to use from day one. We did not need to spend lots of time learning how to use it.

Stytch is fully featured and we were able to accomplish all we needed to do. We went seemlessly from prototype to production level code in a few weeks. The integration is easy and very intuitive. It's probably one of the most successful and easy inplemntations I have worked on.

Documentation is very accessible

Stytch support is increadibly helpful and timely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stytch?

I have to reach deep to find things I dislike. From an engineer's point of view, Stytch does what it says it does and it does it well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use stytch to manage our customer identity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fastest solution to market. Very thorough and took me a couple of days to fully integrate. If anything goes wrong, the team helps out quickly. Custom use cases/problems are addressed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some new products didn't work as expected. Growing company. Support is very responsive though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stytch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simple black box for users, integrating SSO as well as passwordless options. This has taken a week for each SSO provider in the past to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stytch?

Stytch provides an interface to authentication that balances customization and out-of-the-box features well. The APIs provided are transparent and the documentation is of high quality relative to other vendors. Their developer relations team provides fast responses to feedback on the APIs and documentation, resolving errors quickly when reported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stytch?

Some of the assumptions about how partners would use their APIs will push you to build a custom solution to a feature that you would expect them to have built into their APs. This didn't happen often, but a few times during our integration. They're receptive to feedback on these use cases and appear to consider adding them into their roadmaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stytch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stytch is providing a reliable and featureful API for user authentication and is allowing our team to benefit from their platform which allows them to focus on our core product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stytch?

There's a lot of information to digest, but perhaps out side of the scope of stytch it's not always certain what the right action for us to do (step up, vs reject, vs approve..) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stytch?

Stytch was very easy to setup and implement in our experience - we were able to switch from our existing Auth0 implementation. The control plane is very easy to understand, and the SDKs offer a best in class developer experience. From day 1, we had fantastic customer support from the Stytch team in the community Slack channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stytch?

No downsides for our use case, and we're looking forward to the continued development in the B2B product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stytch?

I really appreciate how easy it is to get started with Stytch. The documentation is clear and well-organized, and the API and SDKs are straightforward to implement. I also appreciate the flexibility of the platform, which allows me to customize the authentication and onboarding experiences to match my brand. The range of MFA factors available is also a big plus, as it gives me the ability to offer my users different options depending on their preferences and security needs. Overall, Stytch has made it much easier for me to build secure and user-friendly authentication flows for my applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stytch?

One area where I think Stytch could improve is in the granularity of control it offers over the authentication process. For example, while the platform allows me to customize the branding of the authentication emails and SMS messages, I would like more options for configuring the content and formatting of those messages. Additionally, I think it would be helpful to have more fine-grained control over the user data that is collected and stored by Stytch. Finally, while the pricing for the platform is reasonable, it would be helpful to have more flexibility in terms of the pricing tiers and the ability to purchase features à la carte. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stytch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stytch is solving the problem of identity and access management by providing a comprehensive platform for building secure and user-friendly authentication and onboarding experiences. This is beneficial to me because it saves me time and resources that I would otherwise have to spend building and maintaining my own authentication infrastructure. By using Stytch, I can focus on building my core product and leave the authentication and identity management to the experts. Additionally, the flexibility of the platform allows me to tailor the authentication experience to the needs and preferences of my users, which can help increase engagement and conversion rates. Overall, Stytch is helping me build a better product by providing a secure and customizable authentication solution that enhances the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
