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.

Pricing model
Per monthly active user, with features metered on top of the base rate rather than bundled: $0.02 per MAU for auth, $0.01 more for multi-factor, $0.005 more for account linking, and $20 per dashboard user per month beyond the free ones. The published example works out at $125 for 5,000 MAU with account linking.
