Hey everyone! I'm a fullstack dev and I've been struggling with choosing the right authentication provider. It seems like a mess with all the different pricing tables, features, and hidden limitations out there. I'm thinking about putting together a thorough, filterable comparison of major auth providers, including AWS Cognito, Auth0, Clerk, and others, focusing on their features, pricing, and the common pitfalls I've encountered. This wouldn't just be another blog post; I want it to be something genuinely useful. Would a resource like this help you in making a decision? What filters or information would you find most useful? I'd really appreciate your feedback!

Absolutely, such a resource would definitely help in making smart choices! One useful filter could be whether the tools are SaaS, self-hosted, or both. Also, categorizing them by service type, like if they're frameworks or plugins, might be interesting too. If you want, I can help review your findings later on, but just a heads up, I might be a bit biased since I work on Zitadel.
I've seen similar resources before, like AuthOmnibus, but you're right; the real challenge is keeping that data up to date. Maybe you could start by posting your findings on a blog and share it widely to see how much traffic and interest it generates? Just make sure to keep that publication date clear! By the way, I work for FusionAuth, and I'm definitely keen to see what you come up with!
