What the product covers
The full Authelia feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Reverse proxy integration
- Two-factor authentication
- Access control rules
- Lightweight backends
People bring Authelia in for putting a login and 2fa in front of self-hosted services that have none, adding sso across a small set of internal tools without a full identity platform, home and small-team infrastructure behind a single reverse proxy. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Authelia are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Authelia
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Authelia runs on docker, kubernetes, linux, self-hosted, and is published by Authelia of Open source project. The full record is on the Authelia review, and the rest of the category is under best cybersecurity tools.
