"From Casual Creator to Online Business, Kinde Fits."
5/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

Regardless of which SDK your application is built with, implementing Kinde can be accomplished in a few short lines of code. Kinde offeres more than a dozen popular social logins giving my users the option to leverage the login of their choice. Or they can create an account just for my applicaiton. Kinde consolidates all of these logins and provides me with a single approach toward user authentication in my application. Kinde handles all user registration, logins, logouts, and more all in the same package. It looks professional, works well, and is safe. Kinde's pricing structure is very attractive to causal creators or people looking to start an online business. A developer can test the waters then upgrade the service for a very affordable price. Finally, Kinde is backed up by a substantial amount of documentation all clearly written and up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exception Team and Support with Fair Pricing"
5/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

The Kinde team, led by the CEO and everyone he leads has been phenomenal to deal with. They strive to deeply understand their customer's needs and operate with great integrity. Compared to their technology peers in this space, Kinde is a huge breath of fresh air.

From the technology side, incredibly easy to get up and running, with great support when you need it. Great value for money with pretty much all the features 99% of early stage tech engineers and founders will be looking for. Integrates really nicely with the most crucial enterprise and social auth providers right out of the box (I had Azure AD running inside a couple of minutes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Occasionally noticed small things like a particular SDK missing from the stack, however, the API made up for that so not really a big deal. Nothing bad to say about them to be honest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Thank you David.

We're all big fans of you and the RiskTalk team around the company, and so glad to see you succeed.

Cheers,

Connor.

"Simple and Better! (Especially for SDE interns like me)"
5/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

As an SDE intern whose starting with new framework like NextJS, the traditionally used auths were a bit complicated to me as that required a complex pre configurations. But when I tried Kinde, I realised at that moment that this auth is something different, Kinde was really simple to use and the best part of it... was the user managment system that they provided.

As a developer, I can literally go to the dashboard and review the profiles that are login, visualize it while implementing new features.. That kinda of things added a lot of value to me in my developer's journey. They even got a good customer support.

Using Kinde, I was able to make SaaS application's auth in mins, and I think that's just awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

I haven't found any downsides of using Kinde as it leverages simplicity when it comes at integrating it. I was able to use Kinde a bit too often to make my SaaS application.

Implementation part was also a bit easy as it did't require much of pre configurations. Although, I would love to see if they are able to add a feauture where developers can customise user profile(image) using Kinde itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Thank you Kumar!

Interesting point about user profile images, will speak to the team about that. Really glad to hear you've been enjoying Kinde.

Connor.

"preety nice option for auth integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

easy to onboard and implement, i tried it for my personal projects using py, really liked the passwordless and the third-party login, saved a lot of time in development, the support is also good, i.e. interacting with actual persons instead of bots, the documentation is also easy to follow and less cluttered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

not many bad things i find, just some little ones like last name is mandatory for a user and little and some of the features are still in beta, thus not for stable use as they may change over time, though they are not of a big issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Evgeny K of Kinde

Thanks Annova!

Glad to hear you're enjoying Kinde. Particularly the support offering, it's a core focus for our team.

"Easy to integrate"
4/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

It's easy to get started with it and the pricing is so much better than Auth0. They give you a custom domain on the free plan which is significant for small and not-yet-profitable apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

The latency can be a bit too much. I would also love to be able to choose what columns get displayed on the Users page. Number of sign ins is currently hidden inside the user profile, which is a bummer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you Dobromir!

"Kinde is good, and it keeps getting better"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

Kinde is quite good for a managed auth solution. It's documentation is reasonably good and lists out the steps you have to take well. It wasn't difficult to set up kinde in my project, and it just works. It's UI looks beautiful. There's a good amount of features available, and since i started using it they released even more. You can also do a good amount of custom branding on your auth pages which I really appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

I don't like that it doesn't have a nice solution for vercel preview URLs. The recommended solution is to set up a script to add the preview url using the API after building on vercel, but that feels a little sketchy. It's not too big of an issue though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Evgeny K of Kinde

Thanks Robin! Glad to hear you're enjoying Kinde. Love the comment on Kinde's UI.

We're improving Kinde's guides for setting up with Vercel. If you have more feedback please contact support@kinde.com

Cheers,

Connor.
