Cofounder of Clerk. I agree - our pricing has been significantly reduced since this was written (partially in response to this post)

We do intend to build more products, but if you're using us for pureplay auth we shouldn't cost 1% of revenue at scale.

(As far as I know, we don't cost 1% at any scale, except very early startup days pre-revenue who opt not to use our free plan.)
