Quick Start
<!-- Add to your HTML — that's it! -->
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@nickel-org/hanko-elements/dist/elements.js"></script>
<hanko-auth api="https://your-hanko-api-url"></hanko-auth>
// Check auth in your backend
import { jwtVerify } from 'jose'
const { payload } = await jwtVerify(token, JWKS)
const userId = payload.sub
Why Developers Switch from Auth0
Auth0's pricing explodes past 7,500 MAU and setup is complex:
- Passkeys first — built for the post-password era
- Simple pricing — free up to 10K MAU, no hidden costs
- Drop-in component — one HTML tag vs Auth0's SDK setup
- Self-hostable — control your auth data
A SaaS hit Auth0's free tier limit (7,500 MAU) and faced a $230/month bill. After Hanko: 10K MAU free, passkey login improved conversion by 15% (users hate passwords).
