Pricing Analysis
Overview
Clerk prices on Monthly Active Users (MAU). Free tier covers 10k MAUs with 100 monthly active orgs. Pro is $25/month base plus $0.02/MAU above 10k. Enterprise is custom. It's a developer-first auth tool - the free tier is genuinely useful for side projects and early startups.
Cost Per User
Which Plan Is Right for You?
10k MAU free with full feature access. Enough for most early-stage apps and prototypes. No credit card required.
$25/month + $0.02/MAU. Unlocks unlimited organizations, custom domains, and advanced session management. Upgrade when you're monetizing or need white-labeling.
Custom pricing for high-volume apps, enterprise SSO (SAML), SOC 2 reports, and dedicated support. Required when your auth needs to be a board-level conversation.

Our Verdict
Cheaper than Auth0 at similar MAU ranges and developer experience is better. The $0.02/MAU overage is predictable. Beats rolling your own auth if you're a dev shop under 100k MAU.
