Kinde

Australian auth, feature-flag and billing platform. 10,500 MAU free, then per-MAU pricing; unlimited enterprise SSO from the Plus plan.

B2B teams expecting several enterprise customers should look at the plan boundary first: Free and Pro are capped at one SSO connection with no option to buy more, while Plus at $75/month has unlimited connections at no extra cost, unlike the per-connection pricing at Clerk, Descope or Stytch. Every plan includes 10,500 MAU, then Pro charges $0.0175, Plus $0.0163 and Scale $0.0151 per MAU. Users billed through Kinde Billing are free, and the data region, including the EU, can be chosen on every plan.
