Better Authv0.1.0

A B2B software company building a cloud-based service with separate organizations for each customer. They need self-hosted authentication with role-based access control (RBAC) and organization management to securely isolate tenant data and user permissions. The D1 adapter with Drizzle ORM enables scalable, serverless auth on Cloudflare Workers.

A tech startup creating an API or developer platform that requires its own OAuth provider for third-party integrations. They leverage the OAuth 2.1 Provider plugin to build a custom authentication flow, supporting social logins and secure token management while self-hosting on D1 for cost control and compliance.

A large corporation migrating internal tools to a modern web stack, requiring single sign-on (SSO) via SAML 2.0 for employee access. They use the @better-auth/sso package to integrate with existing identity providers, ensuring secure, centralized authentication across multiple applications with stateless session management.

An online retail business building a secure customer portal with email/password login and two-factor authentication (2FA). They implement better-auth on Cloudflare Workers to handle user sessions, passkey support for frictionless logins, and Stripe integration for subscription management, all while troubleshooting D1 adapter errors for reliability.

A mobile app development team using Expo for cross-platform apps, needing a robust auth backend to prevent crashes and handle social sign-ins like Patreon and Kick. They deploy better-auth on D1 with the Kysely adapter pattern, ensuring proper cookie handling and session caching for mobile users.

Offer the core better-auth package as free, open-source software for self-hosting, while monetizing through premium plugins like advanced SSO, SCIM provisioning, or enterprise support. Revenue is generated via subscription fees for these add-ons, targeting businesses needing enhanced features.

Provide paid consulting services to help companies integrate better-auth into their projects, especially for complex scenarios like multi-tenant setups or troubleshooting D1 adapter issues. Revenue comes from hourly rates or project-based contracts, leveraging expertise in TypeScript and Cloudflare Workers.

Launch a managed, hosted version of better-auth as a service, similar to Clerk or Auth.js, but built on the same self-hostable codebase. Charge based on usage metrics like monthly active users or authentication requests, appealing to teams wanting convenience without infrastructure management.
