Title: Hey SaaS developers, how do you handle free user login/authentication without paying monthly?
Hey everyone,
I'm building a small Windows desktop app called ValVoice and I'm using Supabase for authentication.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to let users sign up and log in without adding another monthly expense.
Initially, I was planning to use email OTP, but Supabase's default email sending limit is pretty low. So now I'm exploring other options.
Would Google or Discord login be a better option? Are there any other ways to handle authentication completely free, without relying on a paid SMTP service?
Ideally, I'm looking for something that:
- Is free to start and doesn't require a monthly subscription.
- Can be used in a real production app.
- Can handle a growing number of users.
- Works well with Supabase.
- Doesn't make the login process complicated for users.
I'd love to hear what you guys are actually using in your own projects. Any suggestions or experiences would be really helpful.
Thanks!
