Hanko vs LibreSpeed
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Hanko and LibreSpeed — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Hanko vs LibreSpeed: at a glance
What is Hanko?
Hanko maps SAML and OIDC attributes into custom claims, a step toward enterprise SSO.
Hanko is a passkey-first authentication platform, open source or cloud-hosted. October's update lets teams bring attributes from SAML and custom OIDC connections into Hanko as custom claims, configured in the Cloud Console. Earlier 2026 releases added Firebase password hash import, inactivity logouts, session transparency and stronger passcode policies.
What is LibreSpeed?
LibreSpeed 6.3 adds shareable result images and fixes Safari upload tests.
LibreSpeed made its rewritten design the default in 6.0.0, then turned to measurement in the 6.2.x line with a connection-stability test and an upload-inflation fix. 6.3.0 in September added a shared-result image matching the chosen design, SERVER_LIST_URL support in frontend Docker mode, and a fix that puts modern Safari on the standard upload path. 6.3.1 in October fixed mixed-content filtering in server selection and the mobile gauge.

Hanko

Hanko maps SAML and OIDC attributes into custom claims, a step toward enterprise SSO.
◆ Current state
Hanko is a passkey-first authentication platform, open source or cloud-hosted. October's update lets teams bring attributes from SAML and custom OIDC connections into Hanko as custom claims, configured in the Cloud Console. Earlier 2026 releases added Firebase password hash import, inactivity logouts, session transparency and stronger passcode policies.
◆ Where it's heading
Hanko is filling in what enterprise customers expect from an identity provider: SSO attribute mapping, session controls and migration paths from incumbents. Releases arrive monthly or less, each with a narrow feature.
◆ Prediction
More enterprise SSO features, such as directory sync or role mapping from claims, are the likely next additions; the entries do not confirm a timeline.
LibreSpeed

LibreSpeed 6.3 adds shareable result images and fixes Safari upload tests.
◆ Current state
LibreSpeed made its rewritten design the default in 6.0.0, then turned to measurement in the 6.2.x line with a connection-stability test and an upload-inflation fix. 6.3.0 in September added a shared-result image matching the chosen design, SERVER_LIST_URL support in frontend Docker mode, and a fix that puts modern Safari on the standard upload path. 6.3.1 in October fixed mixed-content filtering in server selection and the mobile gauge.
◆ Where it's heading
With the design migration done, releases focus on measurement accuracy and easier Docker deployment. Minor versions arrive every month or two.
◆ Prediction
Expect further accuracy and deployment fixes in 6.3.x; no larger feature is signalled.
