Why Switch from Cognito?
Multi-Cloud Freedom
Stop being locked into AWS. TitaniumVault works anywhere - AWS, GCP, Azure, or your own infrastructure. Your auth shouldn't dictate your cloud.
Developer Experience
No more wrestling with CloudFormation templates and Lambda triggers. TitaniumVault offers clean APIs and modern SDKs that just work.
Modern MFA
Support WebAuthn, FIDO2, and Passkeys out of the box. Cognito's MFA options are stuck in the SMS era.
Scale Without Surprises
Cognito's per-MAU pricing gets expensive fast at scale. TitaniumVault's flat rate means predictable costs as you grow.
