Login Methods | Supports OIDC login with Google, Apple, biometric Passkeys, magic links (email & SMS), plus any OIDC-compliant provider (Login.gov, Air Force, SAML) | Email/password, magic links, social logins (Google, GitHub, Apple), built-in MFA options | Rownd’s full OIDC server lets you plug in specialized government/military identity providers and manage them centrally—no custom code required |
User Management | Instant Users assign a unique Rownd ID to every visitor, self-service profiles, unified account across methods, API & dashboard user admin | Prebuilt user profile UI, team/org management with roles, invitations, impersonation mode | Rownd preserves user context from first visit (no duplicate accounts) and offers dynamic grouping rules via dashboard or API |
UI Out-of-the-Box | Ready-to-use, customizable visual components across 12+ SDKs, no-code theming via dashboard | React/Next components, dedicated pages, modal-based flows—requires front-end integration and redeploys for UI changes | Rownd’s UI can be entirely branded and iterated from the platform without touching code—mobile and web share the same control plane |
Profile Management | Dynamic custom fields, progressive profiling, conditional inputs, self-service edits via dashboard or API | Profile editing hooks and UI, but schema changes demand front-end work | Schema updates and field logic in Rownd happen in minutes—no PRs or deployments needed |
Session Management | Automatic session handling, JWT revocation, built-in analytics, dashboard controls for logout behavior and session limits | Session management via httpOnly cookies, client hooks (useSession() ), and basic session APIs—limited out-of-the-box analytics | Rownd provides real-time session metrics and dynamic revocation rules from the dashboard, ideal for high-security environments |
Smart Links | Dynamic deep links for onboarding, re-engagement, multi-platform sign-in; campaign targeting & upcoming analytics dashboard | N/A | Unique feature: Smart Links let you drive users into any step of your flow across web and apps without building separate landing pages |
Custom Domains | Native support for first-party custom domains on auth flows, magic links, and emails (coming soon) | Custom domains & subdomains configurable via dashboard/API; SSL automation and key rotation management | Rownd’s upcoming custom-domain rollout will tie directly into Smart Links and branding, offering a seamless, fully white-label experience |
OIDC Server | Full OpenID Connect provider: metadata, JWK set, token, introspection, and revocation endpoints | Acts as OIDC IdP/consumer for federated login, but no exposed introspection or revoke endpoints | Rownd exposes the complete OIDC control plane for federation, token governance, and multi-tenant federation via standard endpoints |
Integrations & APIs | Web hooks, REST APIs, full backend SDKs (.NET, Go, Django, Node, etc.), CRM connectors (HubSpot, Air table, MailerLite), Web3 (NEAR) | Web hooks, REST APIs, OIDC integrations, CRM plugins (Stripe, other databases), limited Web3 support | Rownd’s catalog covers more “no-code” CRM syncs and blockchain onboarding out of the box, reducing custom integration work |
Compliance & Security | SOC 2 Type II certification, HIPAA-ready, industry-standard encryption in transit & at rest | SOC 2 Type II, CCPA & GDPR compliance | Rownd’s HIPAA readiness and dedicated security controls meet both healthcare and military-grade requirements |
Dynamic Authentication | Instant, no-code flow modifications via dashboard; adaptive sign-in ordered per device (desktop/iOS/Android) | Pre-built React/Next UI components (SignIn, SignUp, etc.) require code changes or redeploys to adjust flows | Rownd lets you tweak authentication logic in real time without touching code |
No-Code Automations | Built-in automations for sign-in prompts, passive data collection, promotional opt-ins, passkey enrollment—all configurable in the dashboard without code | Web hooks for event notifications only; lacks a user-friendly automation builder | Rownd empowers non-dev teams to launch, A/B-test, and iterate onboarding automations instantly |
Programmatic Control | API-first with event hooks and full backend SDK support for programmatic adjustments to auth, user profiles, and configurations | APIs & web hooks for user management, but no native programmatic flow-control plane or agent integration | Rownd’s control plane enables AI agents or scripts to adjust flows, groups, and automations on the fly |
UI Customization | Global style dashboard—colors, logos, corner radii, light/dark modes, illustrations, overlays, sub-brands—all no-code | Pixel-perfect UI components customizable via CSS and theming, but changes require front-end work | Rownd’s dashboard puts complete design control in product/marketing hands—no developer support needed |
Multi-Platform Support | 12+ SDKs covering Web (React, Next, Angular, multiple frameworks, etc.), Mobile (iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, Expo), Backend (Node, Django, .NET, Go), plus Web3 (NEAR) | SDKs for React, Next, Astro, Remix, iOS & Android; no native Web3 wallet support | Rownd extends beyond traditional apps into blockchain onboarding, plus broader backend framework support |
Group Management | Role-based access, dynamic group assignment rules, automated group logic—all configurable via dashboard or API | Organization & multi-tenant support with role assignment, but lacks dynamic assignment rules; group changes require API calls | Rownd’s dynamic group rules simplify access control and reduce misconfiguration risk |
Progressive Profiling | Trigger controls, progressive profiling steps, and conditional flows—all built into the dashboard | Offers multi-step sign-up components, but additional profiling requires custom code; no built-in conditional logic UI | Rownd accelerates data collection and personalization without dev cycles |
