Top Reasons Why Brands Switch From WorkOS to LoginRadius

Local Social, Global Conversion

  • LoginRadius: Regional social login support to lift conversion in key markets.

Profile Growth - Zero Friction

  • WorkOS: No progressive profiling for staged data capture.
  • LoginRadius: Progressive profiling to enrich user profiles without hurting signup UX.

True M2M, Zero Workarounds

  • WorkOS: Missing machine-to-machine authentication.
  • LoginRadius: First-class M2M auth for secure service-to-service access.

Block Breached Logins Instantly

  • WorkOS: No leaked password protection.
  • LoginRadius: Built-in credential-leak checks to block compromised logins.

Your Data, Your Region

  • WorkOS: Lacks global data regions. 
  • LoginRadius: Multiple global data regions for residency and low-latency experiences.

Defense-in-Depth > MFA-Only

  • WorkOS: Security relies mainly on MFA/bot controls.
  • LoginRadius: Layered defense—bot/fraud protection plus compromised-password screening.
