Where their work shows up
Auth0 established the pattern most modern CIAM platforms still follow: developer-first documentation, extensibility through hooks into the authentication pipeline, and a free tier that let teams start without procurement. See Auth0 vs Clerk and Auth0 vs Stytch for how the current generation competes with it.
