## The Hook

ZITADEL is the AGPL IdP whose Cloud is actually US$0 — until the 100th daily user.

## What's Good

AGPLv3. Cloud Free is US$0/Month: 100 Daily Active Users, unlimited stored users, 3 identity providers, unlimited organizations. Data residency EU, US, Switzerland, Australia. Self-host the same stack. Not Logto (50k MAU Cloud), not Hanko (10k MAU passkeys), not authentik (MIT-core, no Cloud).

## The Catch

Loud: the wall is 100 DAU, not Logto 50k MAU. AGPLv3 is network copyleft — Cloud or self-host, the license is loud. Pro is US$100/Month for 25k DAU. Distinct from Hanko passkeys-first Cloud and authentik no-hosted-hatch.

## Verdict

AGPL identity with a real $0 Cloud. 100 DAU is the meter; self-host if that is a joke.
