"Authentication has long been a pain point in web development, especially on the frontend. Countless debates have emerged about the "best" way to handle it. While most developers agree that authentication is hard and that no one-size-fits-all solution exists, few are eager to build an auth system from scratch when that time could be spent on core product work. As a result, many teams turn to third-party providers."
"Better Auth is a headless authentication and authorization framework that is widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive authentication libraries for TypeScript, with a strong focus on developer experience and an extensive set of features out of the box. Whether you're implementing a simple auth flow or building an enterprise-grade system, Better Auth provides the tools to get it done."
Authentication remains a persistent frontend challenge that often leads teams to adopt third-party providers rather than building systems from scratch. Established solutions like NextAuth, Auth0, and Clerk offer functionality but introduce trade-offs including complexity, cost, vendor lock-in, and reliability issues. Clerk provides developer-friendly setup and prebuilt UIs yet carries closed-source licensing, higher pricing, and reported downtime or redirect problems. Better Auth is an open-source, headless authentication and authorization framework designed for TypeScript, emphasizing developer experience, extensive built-in features, framework-agnostic operation, and strong type safety across multiple JavaScript frameworks.
