Identity infrastructure for the modern web
We believe authentication should be invisible when it works and impossible to compromise when attacked.
Our Mission
To make secure identity management accessible to every developer and affordable for every company. We're building the authentication layer the internet deserves — fast, secure, and respectful of user privacy.
Authentication is the front door to your application. It should be welcoming to legitimate users and impenetrable to attackers. That's not a trade-off — it's a design requirement.
Our Values
Security First
Every line of code is written with security in mind. Your users' data is sacred.
Performance Obsessed
Sub-30ms verification isn't a goal, it's a requirement. Speed is a feature.
Global by Default
Built for the internet, not just Silicon Valley. Multi-region from day one.
Developer Love
We're developers building for developers. Great DX is non-negotiable.
Community Driven
Open roadmap, transparent pricing, and real humans answering support.
Focused Excellence
We do identity exceptionally well. Nothing more, nothing less.
Why We Built Plinto
After building authentication systems at scale for years, we kept seeing the same problems: slow verification, poor developer experience, vendor lock-in, and pricing that punishes growth.
Existing solutions force you to choose between speed and security, between developer experience and user experience, between features and affordability. We rejected these false choices.
Plinto is our answer: authentication infrastructure that's fast everywhere, secure by default, and priced fairly. Built on modern edge computing, embracing standards like WebAuthn, and designed for the way applications are built today.
We're not trying to be everything to everyone. We're building the best identity platform for developers who care about performance, security, and their users' experience.
