SuperTokens

SuperTokens belongs in the catalog because it occupies a valuable position between lightweight hosted auth and heavier platform-centric identity products. The official story is still rooted in open-source user authentication, and the pricing page makes that plain by separating self-hosted from managed cloud economics. That gives SuperTokens a distinctive place in the market. It is designed for teams that want modern auth building blocks without losing the option to own more of the stack.

It also earns inclusion because the official pricing page exposes the real billing logic rather than hiding it. The checked page currently shows the managed cloud base at $0.02 per MAU, with free usage under 5,000 MAUs, while self-hosted remains free and open source. The same page also publishes add-ons for MFA, account linking, and dashboard users. That level of visibility is useful because SuperTokens is not best understood as a simple plan ladder. It is a control-minded auth platform with usage-based economics that scale alongside adoption.
