## About

SuperTokens is an open source user authentication platform that provides session management, login flows, and account security features for web and mobile applications. It supports email/password authentication, social login, passwordless magic links, SMS or email OTP, single sign-on, multi-tenancy, account linking, and prebuilt UI components, with SDKs for multiple frameworks and languages.

The pricing page states that the open source features are free to self-host with no MAU limit, while the managed cloud service is free under 5,000 monthly active users at $0.02 per MAU above that threshold. Paid add-ons include MFA, account linking, dashboard users beyond the first three, multi-tenancy options, and implementation assistance.

## Free Tier Value

45

FTV score

The pricing page states that self-hosting the open source features is free without limits, but the cloud plan is free only under 5,000 MAUs and then charges $0.02 per MAU. Since this is a capped free tier, I valued it conservatively at $0 because the page does not specify any paid minimum usage beyond the cap that would create a positive recurring free-tier value. The free-tier feature list matches the core features table, and the page explicitly shows the same core features available in both managed and self-hosted options.
