Here are non detailed reasons why you may want to use Better Auth over other auth libraries and services.
|
|
|
|
### vs Other Auth Libraries
|
|
|
|
- **Framework agnostic** - Works with any framework, not just specific ones
|
|
- **Advanced features built-in** - 2FA, multi-tenancy, multi-session, rate limiting, and many more
|
|
- **Plugin system** - Extend functionality without forking or complex workarounds
|
|
- **Full control** - Customize auth flows exactly how you want
|
|
- **Flexible deployment** - Run alongside your app or as a standalone self-hosted auth server
|
|
|
|
### vs Managed Auth Services
|
|
|
|
- **Keep your data** - Users stay in your database, not a third-party service
|
|
- **No per-user costs** - Scale without worrying about auth billing
|
|
- **Single source of truth** - All user data in one place
|
|
- **Self-host anywhere** - Deploy on your own infrastructure with full control
|
|
|
|
### vs Rolling Your Own
|
|
|
|
- **Security handled** - Battle-tested auth flows and security practices
|
|
- **Focus on your product** - Spend time on features that matter to your business
|
|
- **Plugin extensibility** - Add custom features without starting from scratch
|
|
- **Production ready** - Works embedded in your app or as a dedicated auth server |
