## AI overview

This comparison examines AuthKit and Better Auth as platforms for B2B SaaS products selling to enterprise IT buyers. It argues that both now provide core capabilities such as SSO, SCIM, and audit logs, so the meaningful differences are provider coverage, where user lifecycle management begins, and contractual responsibility. The article also describes Better Auth's hosted infrastructure, dashboard, SIEM drain, self-service provisioning, and threat detection features, while noting its convergence with AuthKit on enterprise requirements.

## Source excerpt

Both ship SSO, SCIM and audit logs now. The comparison that decides enterprise deals has moved to the long tail: provider coverage, where user lifecycle actually starts, and who is contractually on the hook.
