#2Hi HN - We couldn't be more excited to launch Clerk and help developers solve all of user management.
It's been quite a journey to reach this point, with over a year of iteration on the developer experience before we found something developers love. Using Clerk will enable you to spend more time on your application, and less time worrying about the ever-growing list of user management concerns.
Our team is listening in this thread and we're happy to answer any questions.

Just wonder price wise, if I signed up for the free and then switched over to paid it would be $249 for 5000 MAU.
Compared to say Auth0, which would be $114 for 5000 MAU.
The only difference is profile, and Auth0 mostly covers it by allowing you to easily store metadata.
I am not sure I understand what makes Clark worth 2x Auth0?

#4Nice. If you could also add the ability to charge subscriptions from users and manage their subscription plans this would become a no-brainer. Also your pricing model could become very lucrative—you could charge a percentage of the revenue.

Another question, I don't see any mention of security. You are in complete control of our users/profiles and their login credentials and there is zero mention of how secure that data is.

#6Do you handle teams? Eg for a b2b SaaS?

#7Definitely see the need for this but its not that clear to me how it differs from eg FusionAuth which is positioned as an "Auth" solution but actually does everything(?) you call "user management"
Not necessarily criticism, just my impression after a quick glance.

#8I'm even hesitant to trust Auth0 for this, why would I trust a new company?

Agreed - but I would also be interested in knowing if they hold cybersecurity breach insurance. That way, users could actually submit a claim for major issues.

#10As someone who uses Django which has user management out of the box, why would I use a service like this?
