When to Use Clerk

Good fit if you need

  • Next.js / React apps needing drop-in auth UI
  • Startup wanting generous free tier (50K MAU)
  • Need pre-built components (SignIn, UserButton)

Not the best choice if

  • Enterprise requiring SAML/SCIM on day one — Auth0/WorkOS
  • Need self-hosted auth — FusionAuth or Keycloak
  • Non-JavaScript backend

Consider instead: auth0, workos, stytch
