Authorization layer for applications, APIs and AI agents, combining policy-as-code, a no-code editor and local policy decision points (PDPs) for fine-grained runtime access control.

Reviewed 2026-10-09

When this is useful

Developers and platform/security teams building multi-tenant SaaS, fintech, healthcare or agentic applications that need centralized fine-grained authorization without hand-coding policy infrastructure.

Verified scope

Authorization layer for applications, APIs and AI agents, combining policy-as-code, a no-code editor and local policy decision points (PDPs) for fine-grained runtime access control.

Freemium plus usage-based paid plans: the pricing page offers a Free Forever Community plan and scales by monthly active users, including humans, services and agents; current limits/prices should be checked on the live page.

License and deployment: Managed authorization service with local PDP deployment documented on the product page; no self-hosted/open-source license for the full commercial service was established from the fetched pages.

A useful evaluation

Developers and platform/security teams building multi-tenant SaaS, fintech, healthcare or agentic applications that need centralized fine-grained authorization without hand-coding policy infrastructure.

Confirm plan boundaries, data handling, setup requirements, and the ongoing owner before a wider rollout.

Put it to work

  1. Write one task and the outcome that would make the tool useful.
  2. Compare the stated pricing unit, edition limits, and deployment requirements with the task.
  3. Run a narrow evaluation and define the evidence needed before expanding use.

Limits and tradeoffs

Authorization still requires policy design and governance; usage-based MAU billing can include non-human identities, and the fetched pages do not establish full self-hosting or exact enterprise terms.
