Okta alternative

Everything Okta does.
Anywhere you want it.

Monosign covers SSO, MFA, and lifecycle for 7,000+ apps — like Okta. Unlike Okta, it also runs self-hosted in your own infrastructure, includes governance and privileged access in the same platform, and starts at $4 per user per month.

Fully-loaded trial tenant in five minutes. No credit card, no sales gate.

Your infrastructure, your call

Okta is SaaS-only. Monofor ships the same product self-hosted or in the cloud — the answer regulated industries, public sector, and data-sovereignty mandates have been waiting for.

Three SKUs in one platform

Identity governance and privileged access are separate Okta products with separate price tags. In Monofor, IAM, IGA, and PAM are modules of one platform sharing one console.

Built for the whole stack

Modern SaaS apps and the messy rest: RADIUS for VPNs, an LDAP gateway for appliances, and an identity-aware proxy that adds SSO to legacy web apps without touching their code.

Side by side

Monofor vs Okta,
feature by feature.

At the SSO/MFA core the products are at parity. The gap opens at deployment freedom, platform scope, and what your invoice looks like at renewal.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why choose Monofor over Okta?
Two reasons come up most: deployment freedom and scope. Okta is SaaS-only; Monofor runs self-hosted on your infrastructure or in the cloud — same product, same price — which matters in regulated and data-sovereign environments. And where Okta sells governance (OIG) and privileged access (OPA) as separate SKUs, Monofor ships IAM, IGA, and PAM as one platform.
Can Monosign replace Okta for SSO and MFA?
Yes. Monosign is a full identity provider: SAML 2.0, OIDC/OAuth 2.0, WS-Fed, Kerberos, SCIM provisioning, and a 7,000+ app catalog, with MFA from TOTP to passkeys and adaptive, risk-based step-up.
How does migration from Okta work?
Monosign consumes Okta as an upstream identity provider during transition, so you can migrate apps gradually — SAML and OIDC apps are re-pointed one at a time, users keep signing in throughout, and directory sync keeps both sides consistent until cutover completes.
What about my legacy and on-prem apps?
This is where Monofor is strongest. The Access Gateway puts SSO in front of header- and cookie-based legacy web apps without code changes, the RADIUS server covers VPNs and network gear, and the LDAP gateway lets Linux PAM, Jenkins, and appliances authenticate against modern identity.
Is there really no annual minimum?
Pricing starts at $4 per user per month and scales with volume. Talk to sales for a quote matched to your user count — you will not hit a four-figure floor just to start.
