Consider something else if…
- Stytch: There is no flat plan to budget against: everything above the free allowances is metered, so the bill tracks usage rather than a number you agreed to.
- SuperTokens: 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.

At a glance.
| Criterion | Stytch | SuperTokens |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | ||
| Pricing model | Pay as you go with no platform fee: usage above the always-free allowances is metered, and the estimator on the page prices monthly active users, SSO connections, SCIM connections and M2M tokens as separate lines. | 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. |
| Auth | ||
| Users included | 10,000 monthly active users free, permanently, alongside unlimited organizations and 1,000 M2M tokens. | No fixed allowance — billing is $0.02 per monthly active user against a $100 monthly minimum, so the first 4,999 users are covered by the floor. |
| Multi-factor authentication | Supported | Supported |
