The open source part of it seems to be quite limited (see &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;supertokens.com&amp;#x2F;pricing&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;supertokens.com&amp;#x2F;pricing&lt;/a&gt;) and therefore I have a hard time believing this version can be &amp;quot;an alternative to [...]&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;Actually, the main motto of the frontpage is &amp;quot;Open Source User Authentication&amp;quot;, which I also think is a bit of a mischaracterization of the software, since key features I&amp;#x27;d look for on an authentication software are &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; open source.&lt;p&gt;I love that this is a Java-based project and the goals and ideas behind it; but I think the so prominent use of the terms &amp;quot;open source&amp;quot; is misleading and I recommend demoting them or using alternative terms to reflect a more precise reality.</text></comment>

I wish there was more collaboration in this space, especially singe we’re talking security and these projects need pen testing, bug bounties, and more infrastructure to be considered „production grade“.</text></comment>
