Without criticising the current Show HN, there are a bunch of existing Auth services that are free or close to free.

- Auth0 (up to 7000 users, if I can read the comparison page right)

- Supabase Auth (50,000 MAU).

Yep, but you'll find with a lot of them the features are incredibly limiting on free plans. It's the same virtually anywhere in terms of having a free tier, so the issue becomes pricing on higher plans. We come in significantly lower for the same feature sets

The driving factor we're pushing for going forward is to bring all of these dev products (auth, release management, billing, experimentation) under one roof. You'll only have to integrate once and from there on out every other feature is a single line of code.

That way you can manage your users in the same place that you manage your subscriptions, release beta products to a very specific set of users etc. all in one place.

I'm yet to run into the limitations of either of these on free plans. Supabase seems to be making all the right decisions around feature set.

Also, congrats on launching. Best of luck in capturing the market you're looking for.
