Best authentication provider for web apps

Combined ranking

1. 1
   Clerk—15 pts

   GPT #1Claude #1Gemini #1

   Best overall developer experience for modern web apps, polished drop-in UI, strong Next.js/React support, organizations, MFA, social login, session management, bot/fraud controls, and fast SaaS onboarding

   To stay #1 Add deeper enterprise governance and compliance controls so fewer large customers need a second identity layer

2. 2
   Auth0incumbent—12 pts

   GPT #2Claude #2Gemini #2

   Broadest mature CIAM platform, huge protocol and integration coverage, strong enterprise reliability, extensibility, SSO, MFA, passkeys, rules/actions, and Okta-backed security depth

   To rank higher Simplify pricing and configuration so smaller teams do not feel punished for scale or complexity

3. 3
   WorkOS—9 pts

   GPT #3Claude #3Gemini #3

   Best B2B SaaS enterprise-readiness layer, excellent SSO, SCIM, directory sync, audit logs, RBAC, admin portal, and clean APIs for selling into large customers

   To rank higher Become a more complete end-user auth/user-management platform instead of primarily the enterprise feature layer

4. 4
   Supabase Auth—5 pts

   GPT #5Claude #4Gemini #4

   Tightly integrated with Postgres and row-level security so auth and authorization live together, effectively free at typical scale, open source, and ideal when you're already on the Supabase stack

   To rank higher Decouple more cleanly from the rest of Supabase and polish standalone use — organizations/multi-tenancy support and admin tooling lag the dedicated providers

5. 5
   Stytchnew2 pts

   GPT #4Claude —Gemini —

   Strong passwordless-first auth, passkeys, fraud/risk controls, B2B support, flexible APIs, and better security/conversion focus than most legacy providers

   To rank higher Build broader framework-native UI and user-management ergonomics to match Clerk’s speed for app teams

6. 6
   BBetter Auth▼11 pts

   GPT —Claude #5Gemini —

   The breakout open-source TypeScript framework — self-hosted with full data ownership, no per-MAU pricing, a plugin ecosystem covering 2FA, passkeys, organizations, and multi-tenancy, and momentum as the community default for framework-agnostic TS apps

   To rank higher Mature its enterprise story (SAML/SCIM hardening, long-term stability guarantees, commercial support) so teams can bet on it beyond early-stage products

7. 7
   Kinde▼11 pts

   GPT —Claude —Gemini #5

   Built specifically for SaaS with built-in multi-tenancy, feature flags, and clean environment management, backed by developer-friendly pricing.
