Auth · working at 10,000 users · rates as read 25 Sept 2026
On free tier, Auth0 is $0: up to 25,000 monthly active users and Kinde is $0 forever: 10,500 monthly active users. On cheapest paid plan, Auth0 is $ 35 / month (Essentials) and Kinde is $25 USD per month (Pro). On rate above what's included, Auth0 does not publish it and Kinde is $0.0175 per extra monthly active user, stepping to $0.0151. StackTab sells neither of these and takes no referral fee on either: it scores them. Every figure was read off the named company's own page on or since 2026-09-18; the URLs and the dates are at the foot of this page, and a job re-fetches each one on a schedule and fails when a figure is no longer on the page it came from.

“Not published” means that company does not state the figure on the page cited at the foot of this page. It is not a claim that no such figure exists. A company that publishes no limit most likely has none, but “most likely” is not a fact, and this table prints what was read rather than what was inferred.

Auth0: Your buyers already live inside Okta. Auth0 is Okta's developer product, the integration story between them is the reason to pick it, and its free tier is the largest here at 25,000 monthly active users with an enterprise connection included. Kinde: You want the billing and the auth on one bill. Kinde is the only provider in this table that also runs your customer billing: 0.7% per transaction on Pro, falling with the plan, and its free allowance of 10,500 monthly active users keeps running underneath every paid tier rather than being replaced by it.
StackTab does not sell any of these and has nothing to gain from which one you choose: it scores them. Each case below is the one that option genuinely wins.

Prices and limits move, and a page quoting a stale one is worth less than a page quoting none. Every source is printed here so a reader can check it against the day they are reading this, and a job re-fetches each of these URLs on a schedule and fails when a figure above no longer appears on the page it came from.
