My biggest issue with Clerk (aside from the since-validated ...

Also, the clerk service has layered integrations, powered by an http layer. We have customers using each part of the layer for varied integration types. That being said, the SDKs for the spa frameworks are the easiest to use. ... But the main idea is that we wanted most apps to cost ~$25/mo - $100/mo, and, if you're building a B2B SaaS, you're going to have far fewer MAUs, and so we wanted the base cost to be higher at ~200/mo. ... Banning users is still currently on the $25/mo tier which feels wrong, it should be in the free tier. We're due for a pricing revamp again quite frankly to make these pricing options more attractive. The tricky thing with the MAU costs is that a lot of folks seems to think they have a monster on their hands and forecast for like 1M MAUs or something, which is so far from reality. It's tough to balance all of these competing priorities -- and if we don't have enough revenue, we can't keep building and investing in the platform for which we have pretty big ambitions.
