Authentication free tiers reduce starting cost, but their counting rules differ: Clerk bills MRU while Auth0 lists MAU.

As of 2026-10, Clerk Hobby is $0 through 50,000 MRU monthly, after which monthly Pro is $25 plus $0.02 per additional MRU in the first 50,000 overage band. Auth0 B2C Free is $0 through 25,000 MAU. A usable price beyond that tier could not be verified, so its bar has no invented number.

The slider applies one number to two different user definitions for illustration. The same user population may yield different billable counts, and Auth0’s $35 Essentials display for 500 MAU cannot simply be added after its 25,000-MAU Free tier.

When to use

Use it to see the first billing boundary. For a quote, measure MRU and MAU separately and align organization and SSO requirements.
