What it does
  • Better Auth is an open-source, TypeScript-first authentication and authorization framework that developers install into their own codebase, configuring login methods, plugins, and database adapters in a declarative `auth.ts` file rather than a hosted dashboard.
More detail
  • It also sells an optional managed Infrastructure layer (dashboard, audit logs, threat detection) that sits on top of a self-hosted instance.
Best for
  • TypeScript/JavaScript teams building web apps who want to own their user data and avoid per-user auth fees, including those needing 2FA, passkeys, multi-tenancy, SSO/SAML/SCIM, or auth for AI agents and MCP tooling.
Pricing
  • The framework itself is free and MIT-licensed, and the pricing below applies only to the optional managed Infrastructure layer.
More detail
  • Starter is $0/month with 1 dashboard seat, 10,000 audit logs/month, 1-day retention, and 1,000 security detections/month.
  • Pro is $20/month with unlimited seats, 20,000 audi
Main limitation
  • Non-TypeScript stacks (Python, Go, PHP, Java) should not assume feature parity, and teams wanting a fully managed, no-code auth service will find Better Auth self-hosted by default with the dashboard as an add-on.
