What each one is

Hanko. Hanko is an open-source authentication and user management platform for modern web and mobile apps.

Nebius. Nebius is an AI cloud infrastructure platform providing compute, storage, and AI services for training and inference workloads.

Where Hanko is ahead

Hanko passes pricing understandable, and Nebius does not. That is understand, whether an agent can read the docs and work out how the API behaves before calling it.

It also holds adopt: free trial or free allowance. Nebius misses it.

And on operate, structured, predictable output and observable execution. Nebius misses those.

Where Nebius is ahead

Nebius passes clear product positioning and mcp discoverable, and Hanko does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

It also holds adopt: no mandatory sales call, cli available and mcp integration available. Hanko misses those.

What neither does

Both fail structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.

Score, pillar by pillar

Discover is whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists. Nebius leads 100 to 73. Hanko misses clear product positioning, mcp discoverable; Nebius misses nothing.

Understand. Hanko leads 23 to 15. Hanko misses structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented; Nebius misses structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, pricing understandable, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented.

Adopt. Nebius leads 75 to 50. Hanko misses no mandatory sales call, agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, cli available, mcp integration available; Nebius misses agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, free trial or free allowance.

Operate. Hanko leads 47 to 24. Hanko misses machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified; Nebius misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, observable execution, agent compatibility verified.
