Gluu Server vs. Amazon Cognito

Gluu Server

Gluu offers various authentication solutions based on open-source software. There is a self-hosted solution, a managed solution, and a free fully open-source solution based on the Linux Foundation Janssen Project.

Amazon Cognito

The biggest advantage of Cognito is that it's a part of the AWS ecosystem and integrates well with other AWS services. The free tier comes with 50,000 MAUs and the price for each additional MAU starts at $0.0055/month and goes down to as low as $0.0025/month as you scale to tens of millions of users. It integrated with four federated identity providers - your users can sign up with Facebook, Google, Apple and Amazon.
