LoginMaster: the European IAM alternative to Okta
Okta is a global identity management leader, but it is a US-based platform with per-active-user licensing. LoginMaster is the European IAM alternative to Okta: an enterprise identity and access management platform where data stays in the customer Tenant, with unlimited users and GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001 compliance by-design.
Why consider an alternative to Okta
For many European companies there are three pain points: per-active-user costs that grow with the user base, data residency with a non-EU vendor, and administration complexity. LoginMaster addresses all three with per-tenant licensing and a Tenant-Cloud architecture where identities never leave the company.
Comparison: LoginMaster vs Okta
The key differences between the two platforms on the criteria that matter to a European company.
| LoginMaster | Okta | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per tenant/project, unlimited users | Per active user (MAU) |
| Data residency | Inside the customer Tenant | Okta cloud (US company) |
| Vendor access to data | Encrypted/pseudonymized only | Technically possible |
| GDPR/NIS2 compliance | By-design | On the customer |
| European data sovereignty | Guaranteed | Subject to non-EU laws |
| SSO and MFA | Included | Included (advanced in higher tiers) |
| Multi-tenant for MSPs | Per-tenant cryptographic isolation | Separate orgs, multiplied costs |
| Local-language support | Direct, in Europe | Mostly English |
Pricing compared: predictability vs per-user cost
With Okta cost grows with active users. With LoginMaster you pay per tenant/project and users are unlimited.

The advantages of choosing LoginMaster
European data sovereignty
Personal data and credentials stay in the customer Tenant. The Cloud operates only on encrypted data: not even the vendor can read it.
Predictable costs
Per-tenant/project license with unlimited users: spend does not explode as your user base grows.
Compliance by-design
GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001 are part of the architecture, not a documentation burden left to the customer.
Built for MSPs and System Integrators
Per-tenant cryptographic isolation and native multi-tenant management, without multiplying licenses and organizations.
Migrating from Okta to LoginMaster: how it works
Moving away from Okta does not mean rebuilding your identity layer from scratch. LoginMaster integrates via TypeScript/.NET SDKs and REST APIs, with SSO to Google Workspace and Entra ID via OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect, so your SSO and MFA stay live throughout (SAML 2.0 and SCIM are on the roadmap). A typical Okta migration runs in three steps, and our European team manages the plan end to end so you keep SSO and MFA live throughout.
- 1
1. Assessment of your current Okta setup
We review your existing Okta tenants, applications and access policies to map every SSO integration and provisioning flow before anything moves.
- 2
2. Parallel pilot alongside Okta
LoginMaster runs side by side with Okta for a subset of users and applications, so you validate authentication, MFA and provisioning with no disruption to the rest of the organization.

3. Phased cutover, app by app
You migrate one application at a time, with rollback available at each stage. There is no hard cut-over and SSO and MFA stay live throughout the move.
Because LoginMaster integrates via SDKs and REST APIs and federates Google Workspace and Entra ID via OAuth 2.0/OIDC, your identity data stays inside your own Tenant for the entire migration (SAML 2.0 and SCIM on the roadmap). Request a migration assessment to get a tailored timeline.
FAQs about LoginMaster as an Okta alternative
Yes. LoginMaster covers SSO, MFA, provisioning and multi-tenant management with a Tenant-Cloud architecture built for the European enterprise, where data never leaves the customer Tenant.
It depends on your user base. Okta bills per active user, while LoginMaster uses a per-tenant/project license with unlimited users: the more you grow, the greater the relative saving.
Yes. With the Tenant-Cloud architecture identity data stays in the customer Tenant and the Cloud works only on encrypted, pseudonymized data.
LoginMaster integrates via TypeScript/.NET SDKs and REST APIs, with SSO to Google Workspace and Entra ID via OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect (SAML 2.0 on the roadmap). Our team supports the migration with a dedicated plan: contact us for an assessment.

IAM cost with tens of thousands of users
Three pricing models compared, explicit arithmetic at 10,000, 25,000, 50,000 and 100,000 users, the hidden multipliers and the real cost of self-hosting.
Auth vendors that cannot read your users' passwords
Yes, but the difference is not hashing: it is which functions the system does not have. Eight verification questions, the Argon2 parameters that matter and a matrix of what an administrator can really do.
