I work at WorkOS / AuthKit.

We took the Heroku approach. All apps get a free *.authkit.app domain for the hosted login page.

AuthKit never has any WorkOS branding. Clerk puts "Powered by Clerk" on your login page unless you pay. This feels gross. Imagine if Heroku/Vercel were injecting ads into your app?!

AuthKit has free MFA. I believe everyone should get secure auth. Clerk charges to enable MFA. They also charge for passkeys and features like impersonation. Why?

Custom domains cost us $ to run (we pay Cloudflare) so we charge for this. It's also designed for commercial apps. The authkit.app is great for any hobby app.
