Got it — if Descope isn’t fitting your use case, I can help you figure out a better option.
To recommend a good replacement, I need a bit of context:
-
What’s not working with Descope?
- Pricing?
- Flexibility/customization?
- Embedded auth / white-labeling?
- B2B orgs/roles?
- Passkeys / passwordless?
- Developer experience?
- Compliance / SSO / SCIM?
-
What are you building?
- B2C app, B2B SaaS, internal tool, marketplace, mobile app, etc.
-
What do you need from auth?
- Email/password
- Magic links / OTP
- Social login
- Passkeys
- Enterprise SSO (SAML/OIDC)
- MFA
- Org/team management
- SCIM provisioning
- RBAC / ABAC
-
What stack are you using?
- Frontend/framework
- Backend
- Cloud/hosting
- Multi-tenant or single-tenant
If you want, I can also give you a quick shortlist right now:
- Auth0 — very mature, lots of enterprise features, but can get expensive/complex.
- Clerk — excellent DX for modern web apps, especially B2C/B2B-lite.
- WorkOS — best if your focus is enterprise SSO/SCIM and you already have auth handled.
- Firebase Auth — simple and cheap, but less flexible for advanced B2B auth.
- Supabase Auth — good if you’re already on Supabase/Postgres and want open-source-ish simplicity.
- FusionAuth — strong self-hosted/enterprise option with more control.
- Keycloak — powerful and free/self-hosted, but heavier operationally.
If you tell me what you disliked about Descope and what your app needs, I’ll narrow it down to 2–3 best alternatives.
