  "what": "Hosted auth and user management with organizations, roles, feature flags and built-in subscription billing. Free to 10,500 monthly active users. Paid plans start at $25/mo with overage at $0.0175 per MAU, and Kinde takes 0.5-0.7% of volume when you bill customers through it.",
  "why": "One of the few auth vendors that also sells billing and entitlements, so a solo builder ships signup, plans and feature gating without wiring in a second product.",
  "warn": "Bundling auth and billing deepens lock-in — migrating away means moving users and live subscriptions at the same time. Kinde's billing fee stacks on top of Stripe's own processing fee.",
