How a buyer can evaluate the product
Framework quickstarts and prebuilt components let a developer add sign-in and user management on a free plan. The pricing page currently advertises a free allowance up to 50,000 monthly retained users.
A B2B product review adds Organizations, roles and permissions, SSO, directory synchronization, auditability, custom domains, session policy, compliance evidence and support expectations.
Public packaging shows Free and paid paths with usage allowances and optional capabilities. Enterprise requirements and high-scale commercial terms route to sales, so the public calculator is an estimate rather than a complete order form.

Evidence a buyer can inspect
| Buyer question | Public evidence | How to use it | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| How quickly can engineering start? | Quickstarts and components cover common frameworks and authentication flows. | Implement the real framework and tenant model. | Docs |
| What is the usage unit? | Pricing centers on monthly retained users and plan/add-on allowances. | Reconcile the definition with active-user telemetry. | Pricing |
| How are B2B tenants represented? | Organizations documentation covers memberships, roles and permissions. | Test invitation, role-change and offboarding paths. | Organizations docs |
| What does security review need? | Security pages and plan details expose some assurance and control information. | Track public, gated and contract-only evidence separately. | Security |

How to use this in your own materials
Build an identity requirement matrix that ties each user or organization workflow to a plan capability and a price unit. Authentication setup alone does not settle tenant governance, assurance or enterprise support.
Method and limits
We read the listed first-party pages on 2026-09-08 and compared them with our notes from a July 2026 review. We looked at what a technical buyer can verify before contacting sales. We did not test the product or check customer results the vendor reports.
- Pricing and allowances are a point-in-time capture.
- We did not test authentication failure modes or review gated assurance reports.
- Negotiated enterprise minimums and discounts were not public.
