Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Auth0 yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“### 1. Auth0 (Okta Customer Identity Cloud) ... Pick Auth0/Olata if developer experience and speed-to-market matter most” Qwen 3.7 Flash · CIAM · comparative prompt · first choice
“Offers a free tier with 25,000 monthly active users (MAUs), making it a strong choice for startups and small businesses” Mistral Small · CIAM · budget prompt · first choice
“Auth0 and Ping Identity are the top recommendations due to their maturity, scalability, and broad feature sets” Mistral Small · CIAM · direct prompt · first choice
“niche CIAM providers (like Auth0, Okta Customer Identity, or PingOne) ... currently offer fewer pitfalls” Qwen 3.7 Flash · CIAM · negative prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Avoid platforms that are primarily built for Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) but are marketed as workforce solutions (e.g., some modules of Auth0” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Workforce identity · negative prompt · hard negative
“Auth0 is mainly a customer identity (CIAM) platform, not a workforce IAM product.” Perplexity Sonar · Workforce identity · negative prompt · hard negative
“Developers report massive price increases of 300% to 1,500% on renewal” DeepSeek V4 Flash · CIAM · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Auth0. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 165 of the 215 answers that named Auth0 and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Auth0's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Auth0, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at auth0.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
