The Client Access Platform Landscape

  • Leadsie: Early market leader, focused on simplicity
  • Other Platforms: Platform-heavy approach with ~10 integrations
  • AuthHub: Newest entrant with broader platform support and enterprise security

This comparison breaks down features, pricing, and capabilities so you can choose the right platform for your agency.

Winner: AuthHub—5+ more platforms than competitors, including emerging channels like Pinterest and Beehiiv.

Unique Platform Advantages

Pinterest: Growing rapidly for e-commerce agencies. Neither Leadsie nor Other Platforms supports Pinterest Ads access.

Klaviyo: Essential for email marketing agencies. Only AuthHub supports Klaviyo OAuth.

Shopify: Critical for e-commerce stacks. Only AuthHub integrates Shopify store access.

Google Ecosystem: AuthHub supports 8 Google products from a single OAuth. Competitors require separate authorization for each.

Security Comparison

Token Storage: Database vs. Secrets Management

Leadsie & Other Platforms: Store OAuth tokens in their databases.

Risk: If the database is compromised, all client tokens are exposed. Tokens grant full access to client ad accounts, analytics data, and customer information.

AuthHub: Stores tokens in Infisical, a dedicated secrets management platform.

  • Infrastructure-grade encryption: AES-256 encryption at rest
  • Zero-knowledge architecture: Tokens encrypted before storage
  • Audit trails: Every token access is logged (who, when, why)
  • Rotation support: Automatic token refresh without client intervention
  • SOC2 compliance: Built for enterprise security requirements

Winner: AuthHub—Infisical is the same security standard used by Fortune 500 companies.

Audit Logging

Leadsie: Basic logging (who created access request)

Other Platforms: Basic logging (who granted access)

AuthHub: Comprehensive audit logs including:

  • Token creation, access, refresh, revocation
  • User email, IP address, timestamp
  • Action taken (AGENCY_CONNECTED, AGENCY_DISCONNECTED, TOKEN_REFRESHED)
  • Metadata for compliance reporting
  • Exportable for SOC2, GDPR audits

Winner: AuthHub—audit logs are critical for enterprise clients and regulatory compliance.

Permission Levels Comparison

Leadsie (2-3 levels)

  • Admin: Full control
  • Standard: Create and edit
  • View-only (limited): Read-only

Other Platforms (2 levels)

  • Admin: Full control
  • Standard: Create and edit

AuthHub (4 levels)

  • Admin: Full control (create, edit, delete, manage billing, add/remove users)
  • Standard: Create and edit (create campaigns, edit settings, view reports)
  • Read-only: View-only access (view campaigns, view reports, export data)
  • Email-only: Basic email access (receive email reports, view shared dashboards)

Winner: AuthHub—granular permissions mean:

  • Junior staff get read-only access (reduces accidental changes)
  • Freelancers get standard access (can work but can't break things)
  • Senior team gets admin access (full control)

Features Comparison

Onboarding Templates

AuthHub only: Create reusable templates with:

  • Pre-selected platforms (e.g., "E-commerce Client Template" = Meta + Google + Shopify + Klaviyo)
  • Custom intake fields (business name, monthly budget, target audience)
  • Saved branding (logo, colors, welcome message)
  • One-click template application to new clients

Use case: Standardize onboarding for different client types and scale from 10 to 100 clients without re-creating access requests.

Custom Branding / White-Label

Leadsie: No white-label options

Other Platforms: Limited branding (logo upload only)

AuthHub: Full white-label customization

  • Custom logo
  • Custom primary colors
  • Custom subdomain (e.g., clients.youragency.com)
  • Custom welcome messaging
  • Hide all AuthHub branding

Winner: AuthHub—enterprise agencies can present a fully branded client experience.

Multi-Language Support

AuthHub only: Client authorization flows in English, Spanish, and Dutch.

Use case: International agencies or agencies with Spanish-speaking clients can provide native-language authorization flows.

Hierarchical Platform Access

AuthHub only: Google's unique "one OAuth, eight products" capability.

When a client authorizes Google, they simultaneously grant access to:

  1. Google Ads
  2. Google Analytics 4
  3. Google Tag Manager
  4. Google Merchant Center
  5. Google Search Console
  6. YouTube Ads
  7. Google Display & Video 360
  8. Campaign Manager 360

Competitors: Each Google product requires a separate authorization flow (8x more work for clients).
