Best Authentication Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) for a Web-Serverless Stack?

1 point·pinsel··4 comments

Hello,

for a web app that I'm developing I would like to integrate a login using the usual auth methods (Google, Apple, Github, email). Which services can you recommend that allow for a fast integration. I was recommended clerk, but later noticed that it's quite expensive. Also I don't mind implementing my own form. Do you know any alternatives?

Co-founder of Stytch (http://stytch.com/) here -- would love to see if you think we're a fit. We have a generous free tier and we're more reasonably priced that tools like Auth0, but not as cheap as tools like Cognito + Firebase auth. If pricing is a concern, would love your feedback on your optimal cost-structure as we have some startup programs and are always looking to make pricing more compelling for early-stage projects.

Super Tokens, Ory, FusionAuth and Google Cloud Identity (ex Firebase Auth) come to mind.

Thanks! Super Tokens looks promising... Including clerk which of these options would you choose for a startup?

Each have its pros and cons.

Some are less mature (are a startup themselves), some aren't available in every region (if you have data locality requirements), some you can self-host or is open source, etc...

Decide based on what's important for you. There's never a 100% correct answer for every use case.
