Auth.js
Keycloak
Feature Comparison
Keycloak has significantly broader feature support than Auth.js, with 30 supported features versus 15. Keycloak fully covers authentication and machine to machine (m2m) authentication and more.
Auth.js comes with over 80 preconfigured OAuth providers (Google, GitHub, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) so users can sign in with existing accounts
Session settings allow adjusting `session.maxAge` and `updateAge` to control how long sessions last; default expiry is 30 days but can be configured for longer durations
Session idle and max lifespans and offline sessions can be adjusted to keep sessions alive for longer periods
Admins can view and revoke user and client sessions, sign out all sessions, and configure session lifespans in the admin console
The UI is internationalized. Administrators can enable multiple languages and users can choose their language at login or in the account/admin consoles

Compliance Comparison
Neither Auth.js nor Keycloak provide compliance certifications and regulatory frameworks, as both are open source. You’ll need to handle compliance requirements on your own.
