The short version

  • Only Authy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Authy free consumer app with no paid tier, so there is no vendor-stated enterprise SLA or support plan on the pricing side; Idira no pricing is published anywhere on the product page; every call to action is Request a Demo or a sales contact form

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Authy

  • Free consumer app with no paid tier, so there is no vendor-stated enterprise SLA or support plan on the pricing side
  • Vendor markets multi-device sync as a core feature, meaning account security depends on cloud-backed codes rather than device-only storage

Idira

  • No pricing is published anywhere on the product page; every call to action is Request a Demo or a sales contact form
  • Endpoint privilege management and agentic AI identity governance are sold as separate solution categories rather than one bundled price, so evaluating total cost requires multiple sales conversations
