Developer Perspective

Universal Login, Actions, and the SDK cover every auth pattern. RBAC and Organizations for B2B are well-designed.

Reality Check

Auth is hard to get right. Auth0 handles the complexity so you don't have to. The free tier is generous.

Big Picture

Clerk is the modern alternative with better DX. Auth0 feels increasingly enterprise-heavy and complex.
