What each one is
Logto. Logto is an open-source authentication and identity platform built for developers, offering auth, SSO, and RBAC for SaaS, AI agents, and B2B apps.
Stripe. Financial infrastructure to grow your revenue.
Where Logto is ahead

It also holds understand: structured api reference and limits / constraints documented. Stripe misses those.
Where Stripe is ahead
Stripe passes mcp discoverable, and Logto does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.
It also holds adopt: fast time to first request, copyable quickstart, cli available and mcp integration available. Logto misses those.
And on operate, structured, predictable output. Logto misses it.
What neither does
Both fail openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, no mandatory sales call, 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.
