# Clerk pricing

Modern authentication platform positioned as the alternative to Auth0 for React and Next.js developers. Distinctive for pre-built UI components (SignIn/SignUp forms) that install in one line — you don't build auth UI from scratch. Free tier bumped to 50K MAU in Feb 2026 (industry-leading). Pro $25/mo includes 1 SSO connection (WorkOS charges $125/mo for the same). Business $300/mo. Popular with Series A/B React startups.

## Current entry price

**$25/month** billed monthly. **$20/month** billed annually (save 20%).

## Recommendation

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.

## Alternative to consider

Non-JS stack or open-source preference? Pick Auth0, Supabase Auth (bundled), or Kinde. Ultra-simple email/password only? Firebase Auth (free).
