Who it suits

Teams that want to run auth themselves and keep the user table in their own database, with a managed option priced per user rather than per plan.

Consider something else if…

The $100 monthly minimum makes it expensive below about 5,000 users, and MFA is a separate per-user charge rather than an included feature.
