## The Hook

Descope is drag-drop auth flows when you want Free Forever MAUs without standing up Keycloak.

## What's Good

Free Forever: 7500 MAUs / 10 tenants / 3 SSO. Visual flows, passkeys, SSO on the free band. Fast to ship customer auth. Skills already live; gem was absent.

## The Catch

LOUD: proprietary — not OSS. Free Forever caps are real; above them is paid. Vs Clerk/Logto/Kinde/WorkOS/Hanko/Better Auth. Distinct from Clerk, Logto, Kinde, WorkOS, Hanko, and Better Auth.

## Verdict

Proprietary auth. Free Forever 7.5k MAUs — not open source.
