What is Amazon Cognito?
You can create unique identities for your users through a number of public login providers (Amazon, Facebook, and Google) and also support unauthenticated guests. You can save app data locally on users’ devices allowing your applications to work even when the devices are offline.
What is Auth0?
A set of unified APIs and tools that instantly enables Single Sign On and user management to all your applications.
