Better Auth

- Better Auth vs Auth0/Clerk: Better Auth is appropriate for organizations that prefer to self-host and avoid per-user pricing, at the cost of assuming operational responsibilities such as compliance evidence, SLAs, and managed security operations that hosted providers typically provide. - Better Auth vs Supabase Auth: Supabase Auth is integrated into the broader Supabase platform and may be more convenient if an organization already uses that platform; Better Auth is platform-agnostic and therefore potentially more flexible across different infrastructure choices but typically requires more integration effort. - Better Auth vs Auth.js: The project positions itself as a more feature-complete TypeScript-focused framework. Notably, the project stated that Auth.js is now maintained by the Better Auth team; this consolidation may affect ecosystem governance and integration paths and should be examined for potential implications on independence and long-term maintenance.
