Hello, We are a non profit organization creating an app for our members. The goal of this app is to allow every member to have their own account with a simple login system that would be the same for all our organization's app. We are currently discussing about what auth solution should we use, and I discovered supertokens through github From now on, we wanted to use a custom auth system using mongodb, but do you think supertokens would be better?

hey @nano_ck . Thanks for the description. When you say "that would be the same for all our organization's app. ", what exactly do you mean?
n
We have multiple websites that our members use, and we want to have a universal login system for all those apps
r
i see. And are those websites on different sub domains? Or entirely different domains?
n
They are on different sub domains
r
right. So this can work well with supertokens -> you would create a session that is shared across sub domanins post login. This way, if the user visits any of the sub domains, they will be logged in
n
Is there a permission management system on supertokens? We used to have auth0 for the admins and I appreciated the way we could manage permissions
r
You can use our managed service offering since we don't support mongodb for self hosted yet
n
that sound perfect
r
we do have roles and permissions, yes.
n
what database is used for self hosted ?
r
postgresql or mysql
n
Perfect, thank you very much
and is it completely free to use when it's self hosted?
r
depends on the features you want, but all the login methods are free for any number of users.
visit our pricing page for more info
n
and does it have difficulties when there are more users?
I did, and it was well explained ! Just wanted to make sure as it was a bit blurry when I checked auth0
r
no difficulties with more users. We have people using us to handle a user based of 1M+ users on self hosted
> it was a bit blurry when I checked auth0 What do you mean?
n
It seemed like they tried to hide numbers
r
oh yea.. thats true.
n
Thank you very much for your help, I am personally convinced
I now need to convince the team lol
