And now that Okta and Auth0 are the same, the big two options are Okta/Auth0 and Azure AD. I don't know how much Firebase gets used at scale but the price "scales" so well that I think most people switch off of it after the MVP validation phase. Just conjecture though, no numbers to back that up -- an enterprise client is probably not going to use your product because it has Firebase login integration.

I mean, it's yet to be determined how Okta and Auth0 are going to integrate. I have read that Okta has three sets of APIs, maybe Auth0 will be a fourth?

LOL. It might even be a negative signal.
But I hear Firebase is thinking about supporting standard OAuth, which would be great.

I wouldn't say they're the same thing except from a brand name perspective. Okta is barely app-focused; much more enterprise SSO. Auth0 is extremely app-focused, although they can do some enterprise SSO as well.
Okta bought Stormpath (and killed it) and now Auth0 because of this difference, and because there's a finite total addressable market for employees, but an almost infinite total addressable market for app users.
