SuperTokens. Open source user authentication platform that helps developers build fast, maintain control, and reduce costs.

Where SuperTokens is ahead

It also holds understand: pricing understandable. Bland misses it.

And on adopt, free trial or free allowance, cli available and mcp integration available. Bland misses those.

What neither does

Both fail structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, programmatic credential creation, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.
