How is Clerk different from Auth0?

Clerk provides pre-built, embeddable UI components (sign-in, user profile, org management) that Auth0 does not. Clerk is also more developer-friendly for Next.js and React applications with tighter framework integration.

Does Clerk support enterprise SSO?

Yes. Clerk supports SAML and OIDC enterprise SSO connections. Enterprise customers can connect their corporate identity providers for single sign-on without your team building any SSO infrastructure.

Can we customize the Clerk UI components?

Yes. Clerk components support extensive theming with CSS variables, custom colors, fonts, and layouts. For fully custom UIs, you can use Clerk's headless SDK to build your own auth forms.
