# Kinde

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/auth/kinde/

Auth and billing platform where every plan, paid or free, includes the same 10,500 monthly active users — the fee buys features rather than headroom.

## Who it suits

Products that want a predictable flat fee and a large free user allowance that does not change when you start paying — 10,500 MAU on every tier is the opposite of Auth0's paid-plan cliff.

Consider something else if Enterprise SSO only becomes free at the $75 tier, and if you use Kinde's billing there is a 0.5% cut of your own transactions on top of the plan fee.
