Hexclave (formerly Stack Auth)
Hexclave (formerly Stack Auth) provides authentication and user management with teams, RBAC, and built-in analytics for web and mobile apps. · Hexclave · Auth
Overview
Stack Auth was rebranded to Hexclave; the same authentication platform is now offered under the Hexclave name at hexclave.com (the API and dashboard still live under stack-auth.com). The free plan covers up to 10,000 auth users with one dashboard admin, and the core is open source and self-hostable.
Good fit
Use Hexclave when you need quick, passwordless authentication and user management for small to medium web or mobile apps.
