Why Not Build Auth Yourself?

Free Plan Limits

The Bottom Line

More Free APIs You Should Know About Every developer has tried to build authentication from scratch at least once. Password hashing, session management, OAuth flows, password reset emails, rate limiting, brute force protection... Then you realize Auth0 gives you all of that for free. Up to 25,000 monthly active users. No credit card. Sign up at auth0.com, create a new Application (Regular Web App, SPA, or Native). That is it. Google login, GitHub login, email/password — all work out of the box. A security engineer I worked with put it bluntly: "We spent 3 months building custom auth. Then we got breached through a session fixation bug that Auth0 had patched 4 years ago. We migrated to Auth0 in a week. Should have started there." Building auth means you are responsible for: Auth0 handles all of this on the free tier. 25,000 MAU is enough for most startups well past seed stage. You will not need to pay until your app is already making money. Stop building auth. Ship your actual product instead. Need to scrape authenticated websites or extract data behind logins? Check out my web scraping tools on Apify — handle any auth flow automatically. Building something custom?
