Who is Clerk best for?
In other words, Clerk is the auth-as-a-service for developers building Next.js / React apps who want user management + social login + billing + orgs shipped in an afternoon — not weeks. Free tier covers up to 10K MAUs; Pro adds SSO, advanced features, and higher limits. Extremely easy for React/Next.js developers; more setup work outside that stack. Deep native integrations with Next.js, Vercel, Supabase, and modern JS ecosystem. Downside: pricing scales aggressively past 10K MAUs, and non-JS backends (Ruby, PHP) have thinner SDK support.
What is Clerk not for?
Non-JS stack or open-source preference? Pick Auth0, Supabase Auth (bundled), or Kinde. Ultra-simple email/password only? Firebase Auth (free).
