The article compares Supabase Auth and Clerk, highlighting Clerk as a more feature-rich alternative that is easy to implement. While Supabase Auth provides a straightforward method for adding authentication to applications using a pre-configured auth schema in Postgres, Clerk offers additional benefits such as beautifully designed UI components and a suite of B2B tools for multi-tenant applications. Both systems utilize JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for authentication, but Clerk offers a dedicated JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) endpoint for integration with Supabase, ensuring compatibility. Clerk also supports diverse authentication strategies, including social sign-ons and passkeys, and provides components for user management, making it a versatile option for developers seeking enhanced functionality. Furthermore, Clerk's integration with Supabase allows developers to quickly configure authentication and extend user management features, making it an attractive alternative for those seeking to enhance their application's authentication experience.
