Auth Pricing Wars: Cognito vs Auth0 vs Firebase vs Supabase

SuperTokens

For B2C, Supabase will get you most of the way for small to medium MAU applications. You might need additional services for analytics and monitoring. If you are building a boom-or-bust B2C company (ex. Social media platform, video game, media publication) you should consider using an open-source self-hosted solution like SuperTokens.

Firebase Authentication

Firebase is another BaaS platform, featuring slightly more mature versions of all of Supabase's auth features. You could argue Firebase is more well-suited for mobile applications that need authentication. Additionally, their infrastructure and feature-set is pretty advanced thanks to their acquisition by Google. If you're building an API on Firebase, we have articles on creating an API, and adding API key authentication or JWT validation.

Clerk Authentication

Clerk is like if Supabase and Auth0 had a baby. It combines the great developer experience and easy setup of Supabase with the dedication to user and access management of Auth0. It includes a quite of embeddable UIs to quickly get started, and APIs for more advanced use-cases. If you're a startup, Clerk is a very attractive option for getting to market. Many Zuplo customers have integrated Clerk for their API authentication.

Auth0

Auth0 (now part of Okta) is a flexible identity management platform offering authentication and authorization as a service. Its often used to offer Universal Login (authentication across platforms) and Multi-Factor Authentication. I've used Auth0 in the past and have found it to be quite powerful - with extensibility around signup/login flows, detailed monitoring, OIDC-support (unlike most options on this list), and documentation for almost every use-case. Despite being one of the pioneers in the developer tooling space - I feel like Auth0 has not kept up with the ease of use that other platforms have, and is definitely more focused on enterprises (thus the higher cost). If you're using Auth0 for your enterprise API authentication, check out this guide.
