"Simply the easiest authentication library available. Period."
5/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

The overall ease of integration with this library is fantastic. It honestly takes me no more than 3 minutes to set everything up, which is a first for me, especially after trying numerous other authentication libraries. Besides the product itself, the customer support is excellent. I appreciate their proactive approach whenever I have a question or suggestion. They genuinely consider my feedback for potential improvements, which is quite impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Honestly, there's not much to dislike. Kinde does exactly what it promises: it takes the friction out of building secure applications. The only issue I encountered recently was the lack of a webhook feature for sending emails based on specific events. However, after sending a brief email to their customer support, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they were already working on this feature, which is slated for release in early 2024.

Response from Evgeny K of Kinde

Thank you!

Hearing it took three minutes to get set up is wonderful.

Webhooks are just around the corner! It's a matter of weeks now.

Cheers,

Connor.

"Genuinely, the easiest way to get your app up and running with real users"
5/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

We use Kinde for all of our clients' portals. Since we implement new portals monthly it is important that setting up the basics is quick + effective. With Kinde, it is!

The customer support responds < 1d, the current SDKs are great, and implementing a full user with org and role auth flow is so easy. Integrating with an existing user base is also dumb simple.

We use this product for every release. Not only is it simple, but it is relatively cheap.

Custom authentication, although not impossible or even hard, can sometimes just be a PITA. Auth0 + Cognito, do not have the level of support that Kinde has at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Kinde is young, there are some features that I think need to really get done. For example, custom favicons on logins, custom no-reply email sending, and some hooks for a fully customized UI would be great.

These are all on their dev roadmap I believe. Invest early in Kinde and I have a hard time believing you will be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Thanks for the excellent review! Glad to hear you're using Kinde for every release & that user migration was simple.

Can say all of the features you requested are coming very soon.

Cheers,

Connor.

"Multi-tenancy for t3-turbo"
4/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

Easy to use developer dashboard, easy to follow documentation, quick customer support via Discord, all the multi-tenancy features we needed like roles and multi-orgs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Integration wasn't as straightforward as I would have liked. There's been some downtime with the service that's hindered productivity and access. No client side organization name fetch (only IDs). The price is expensive for our small team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Hey Jamison! Thanks for the kind words.

Would love to hear more about your experience and how we could improve if you could get in touch with support@kinde.com

"Passwordless auth made easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Kinde?

The ease with which we were able to set up passwordless auth and the generous free tier while we are pre-launch both contributed to a great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

I am nitpicking, but finding the client-side settings page to manage callback URLs seems elusive. I end up clicking all over the place before I eventually find it. What is more annoying, and nothing to do with Kinde, is that I keep forgetting to bookmark it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Incredibly kind of you to review Troy, thank you.

I trust that it is now bookmarked, although I'll chat to the team about improving the accessibility there.

Thanks.

Kinde integration is very straightforward. Just copy paste from the docs and you'll have a working app in less than 5mins. Kind console UI is also simple and intuitive to navigate around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

The React SDK does not have an out-of-the-box ProtectedRoute component and couldn't find a method in useKindeAuth() hook to get the refresh token. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde
