Summary

Huntr.co, an AI-powered job search SaaS, transitioned over 250,000 users from their previous authentication provider to Clerk's developer-first platform to address the need for scalable tools, transparent pricing, and responsive support. The decision was prompted by a significant price increase from their former provider, which was unsustainable for the fast-growing, bootstrapped company. Clerk was chosen for its partnership approach, modern developer-friendly features, and startup-oriented pricing structure, which alleviated concerns about future costs. The migration process was smooth, bolstered by Clerk's proactive support and commitment to understanding Huntr's unique needs. Clerk's integrity, demonstrated through their swift handling of a billing error, further solidified Huntr's trust in them as a reliable partner. Over a year into the partnership, Clerk has enabled Huntr to scale effectively, maintaining development speed and reducing authentication-related challenges, making it a recommended choice for other SaaS startups seeking a dependable authentication solution.
