Kinde Overview

What is Kinde?

Powerful authentication and user management for modern applications. Created by founders and engineers to help your business generate more revenue, reduce costs, and make lifelong loyal customers – in one place. Every aspect of Kinde is designed to help your business grow and scale. We went to great lengths to make sure that you don’t have to worry about anything. From startup to IPO in a single platform. Authentication Authentication happens at some of the most important, and highly impactful, places in your customers' journey. Our powerful builder allows you to make sure that your pages are on brand and as beautiful as the rest of your website and product experience. Up-level your security with multi-factor authentication (MFA). Give your users access to advanced authentication options, protecting them from reused or breached passwords. Take control of user authorization and access with enterprise SSO and custom SAML so that you can support your biggest customers as quickly as possible. Manage users from one beautiful dashboard. Add and invite users, manage roles and permissions, and get a complete picture of your user activity. We’ll keep you and your users safe. Kinde is built from the ground up using best-in-class security protocols. Access Control and Multi-tenancy Complex businesses need software that reflects their structure and restricts data access to only the people who should see it. That’s why we’ve included outrageously powerful controls to help you manage your businesses, teams, and users in the most frictionless way possible. Controlling who can access which individual pieces of data and interface is critical to protecting your business and your customers. Hierarchical role-based access control (RBAC) is the best way to manage this. Allowing strict control and flexible assignment – aligning everything from your business view of the world right down to the code you ship to customers. Feature flags Deliver new experiences and increase the speed that your team deploys, learns and releases with feature-based continuous deployment. Shipping to production introduces a degree of risk. Continuous deployment helps to reduce risk and accelerate learning by empowering the team to deploy when ready and separating releasing from shipping. Feature flags are the heart of what makes this work. Mistakes happen. Rollouts are no exception. The important thing is how your team deals with problems, and what tools they have at their disposal to manage problems. Feature flags are a powerful tool for preventing and managing failed change. Billing Coming in Q3, 2024.

What do you like best about Kinde?

Kinde was super easy to integrate. We had to try and replace an existing Identity Server based customised solution so we had to try and make it work in place of our old solution with minimal rewrites and without completely changing our code. Kinde was up to the challenge and would have been even easier if we didn't have these restrictions in place.

The support we received from their team was fantastic, even in the lead up to the project when we were trying to select a solution, they were great in helping us evaluate Kinde and answering the many questions we had.

Once everything is set up, it just works really well. It's fast, easy to administer, and the pricing is very fair and reasonable compared to the competition.

The team is always building new features and growing the product so it's great to just see new helpful features appear! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

If any of your code is stuck on .Net Framework (rather than modern .Net) then they don't have an SDK, but implementing Kinde using the oauth token endpoints is still very easy.

Importing users via CSV has some limitations at the moment which I believe they will be working on in the future.

In some instances the docs were a bit vague or incomplete and I had to go to their support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinde solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing user login and registration, removing the need for us to manage user credentials, manage security and generate oauth tokens for securing APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinde?

Kinde is very easy to setup with my Nextjs project. It takes care of user session management for me with simple functions. I love that I didn't have to manually manage user sessions and cookies. User management is easy from the Kinde dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

I wanted to change roles using the API. I found the API docs for the machine to machine tokens was confusing. I had to dig deep into their Slack channel to find this information. I wish they would write more clear instructions on this aspect of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinde solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinde is solving the user authentication and authorization problem. It let's me use google sign in very easily to my application: MySocial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinde?

Working with Kinde has been an awesome experience. Their Discord channel offers fantastic support, and the setup process is a breeze no matter what language you're using. The pricing is great, especially since you don't need a credit card to get started. Plus, you get two environments for testing your code in the free version, which is super handy. The community authorizations available are extensive, making integration smooth and secure. Kinde keeps impressing us with their ongoing improvements. We highly recommend them to any agency looking for a reliable auth solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Everything worked awesome while working with kinde, but last time I faced an error everytime while logging in in Firefox browers😅 it was working in my chrome ,but not in Firefox. Another thing, i would also like to know a way to store the users in a database like Mongodb or SQL :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinde?

First of all, amazing work! Kinde provides seamless authentication on the user end and effortless integration for the developers. I was able to integrate kinde with my next.js app in less than 10 minutes (literally) cause the documentation is very clear and straightforward, telling exactly what to do! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Personally I never ran into an issue with kinde since I used it on a small project of mine but I think since kinde is kinda new in the authentication market so the community support won't be as huge when compared to other providers but that's just a matter of time with the services kinde provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinde solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinde helped me with easy authentication implementation on my website! I had to code one on an urgent basis and it required an authentication feature. So, I searched for an authentication provider, kinde showed up and man the integration was effortless, had to install their sdk and add keys! Create some folders and file and it's done.

What do you like best about Kinde?

The Kinde setup was very straightforward. It's the first Auth tool that I implement myself, so I can't compare, but I was satisfied with the experience. So far, I've received a timely reply on all of my support requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

My implementation was fairly basic, but I did notice some missing features that required workarounds. There are also some integrations to email campaign services and analytics tools that seemed available with other Auth providers that weren't yet available for Kinde. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinde solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinde offers an out-of-the box auth management solution that saves me from handling auth, password management, password recovery, etc. by myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinde?

I found Kinde looking for an affordable alternative to Auth0. Auth0's recent price hikes of 3x+ and their maximum monthly user limit of 20,000 MAUs without switching to an enterprise plan were a killer for me. Kinde offers plans with no MAU limits and a very affordable monthly price.

The default kinde login UI is clean and simple and more intuitive than Auth0's Lock.

Most importantly, Kinde's support has been there since day 1. After reviewing 10+ Auth0 alternatives, I settled on 3 which I actually booked calls with. The great people at Kinde were friendly, responsive and I truly felt they were there to help me. After signing up, the support team was there with answers, most times within 12 hours. In the few situations where I was looking for a feature that didn't exist, they considered the request and actually implemented the feature. The team has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Kinde is growing fast, but because it is a newer platform it isn't as feature-rich as Auth0. Luckily their support team has been responsive, considered my requests, and has actually scheduled out development to enhance the product.

It would also be nice if the Login UI could be customized like Auth0's Lock via JavaScript. This is something that has helped me handle detecting when a user is logging in within a WebView so the "Sign in with Google" button can be disabled since this is a scenario that isn't allowed via Google and provides the users with a bad login experience. Alternatively, it would be great if Kinde could do this detection on our behalf. That would be even better than what Auth0 is doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinde solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centralized user access management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Hey Ryan! Thank you for the extensive review.

Glad that you're enjoying the degree of support.

We're working on greater customizability for the Login UI in a manner that is sustainable and aligned with our focus on security. We'll have some new features for you to test soon.

What do you like best about Kinde?

Extremely easy to integrate into existing software products. Also they genuinely have great technical/product support through multiple platforms which I have taken advantage of on numerous occassions. They offer all of this for free, although their pricing once you get a substatial number of users is very reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

There are some features that haven't been released yet which I'm looking forward to, however they're on their public roadmap, and always open to discussing status and expected timelines. That being said, the product is already very feature complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinde solving and how is that benefiting you?

To put it simply, it makes the process of setting up and integrating social login, SSO, and MFA very simple. I'm a software engineer, and having been tasked with finding the ideal authentication as a service solution, Kinde is definitely up there with the heavy hitters.

I will be continuing to use Kinde moving forward, and I will be using the product again for future projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Thank you Jamie! Glad you're enjoying Kinde and the support offering.

Excited for a few of those features to come out.

What do you like best about Kinde?

I love Kinde for its price point and ease of use. Too many Auth services like to hide basic security features behind a massive monthly/yearly bill, but Kinde does not. They provide excellent service regardless of whether you take their pricing into account; however, when you do, they are leagues above all the other Auth services.

Their client libraries also make implementing auth into your site so easy and if you run into an issue, their support is responsive and quick to solve issues.

Their roadmap also lists exciting features that are on their way and you can even subscribe to them so you're alerted when they progress to production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

One downside I would say about Kinde is that I would like more multi-user actions, e.g., being able to select multiple accounts to perform an action on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinde solving and how is that benefiting you?

Authentication, and in the future, SAML Authentication are the main problems Kinde is solving for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinde?

The documentation is very clear and Kinde offers tons of SDK options to really hit the ground running. I was able to implement auth in my app fairly quickly. The Kinde team pushes out updates pretty often and are extremely responsive. The billing feature while in Beta is honestly one of the top reasons I decided to choose Kinde as my Auth Provider. The team has been killing it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

The downside about using a new authentication service like this is that when you do run into an issue there isn't a ton of information available online that's actually help but Kinde support is very responsive and the community is growing pretty fast. I wish there were a bit more custom inputs in regards to user sign up, it's a bit limited at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinde solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinde offers auth as well as billing which is an awesome integration that saves a ton of dev time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
