The Auth0 Startup Program offer explained
Auth0 provides full access to its B2B Professional Plan at no cost for 12 consecutive months. This tier normally carries a subscription fee; the program eliminates that cost entirely during your startup's first year. After 12 months, your account automatically downgrades to Auth0's free tier (limited to 7,500 monthly active users and basic features), unless you choose to convert to a paid plan.
Heads up: credit programs change their terms and caps regularly — confirm the current offer on the application page before you plan around it.

How to apply for Auth0 Startup Program
- Visit Auth0 Startup Program page
Navigate to auth0.com/startups or equivalent landing page and locate the application form.
- Complete application
Provide company info, funding stage, product description, and expected monthly active users. Attach pitch deck or funding documentation if available.
- Await approval (typically 5–10 business days)
Auth0 reviews eligibility; approval is not guaranteed. You'll receive email confirmation with next steps.
- Activate and configure
Log in to Auth0 dashboard, verify B2B Professional Plan is active, and begin integrating authentication into your product.
Pro tip: Activate your free tier early—even before you need it—to lock in the 12-month window and allow time for integration testing. Plan your user-growth trajectory: if you expect to exceed 100K monthly active users before month 12, contact Auth0 early to discuss upgrade paths or negotiate extended terms.
Auth0's Startup Program removes the biggest friction point for identity-first startups: you get enterprise-grade authentication without the enterprise bill, buying runway to focus on product-market fit.SaaSTweaks editorial
Who should apply — and who shouldn't
Apply if
- Your product requires robust user authentication, MFA, or social login—Auth0 handles this out-of-the-box, saving 2–4 months of engineering time.
- You're building B2B SaaS, a marketplace, or fintech where security and compliance are table stakes; the Professional Plan includes audit logs and advanced security features.
- You want to avoid vendor lock-in: Auth0 uses standard protocols (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect), so migrating away is feasible if needed.
- You're pre-Series B and need to preserve cash for product development, sales, and hiring rather than infrastructure.
Skip if
- Your product has minimal authentication needs (e.g., simple API key or single-user); Auth0's free tier or a lightweight alternative (e.g., Supabase, Firebase) may suffice.
- You're already committed to a competing identity platform (Okta, AWS Cognito, Azure AD) or have built custom auth; switching costs outweigh the 12-month credit.
- You expect to exceed 100K monthly active users within 6 months; you'll hit the plan ceiling and need to upgrade mid-program, negating much of the savings.

Final verdict
Apply — strong program.
Auth0's Startup Program is a high-value, low-friction offer for early-stage companies that need enterprise authentication. The 12-month free tier removes a material cost barrier, integrations are mature, and there's no forced vendor lock-in. Eligibility is reasonably broad (pre-Series B, no VC sponsor required), and downgrade to free tier is transparent.

Frequently asked
Who's eligible?
Early-stage startups (typically seed through Series A) with recent institutional funding. Bootstrapped companies are evaluated case-by-case. You must be building a product, not reselling Auth0.
How long do credits last?
12 months from activation. The credit is non-renewable; after 12 months, your account downgrades to Auth0's free tier unless you convert to a paid plan.
Do I need a VC sponsor or referral?
No. Auth0's Startup Program accepts direct applications. No sponsor or referral code is required, though having a pitch deck or funding announcement helps approval odds.
What happens when credits run out?
Your account automatically downgrades to Auth0's free tier, which includes up to 7,500 monthly active users and basic features (no MFA, limited integrations). You can upgrade to a paid plan at any time.
Can I combine this with other Auth0 promotions or discounts?
Typically no. The Startup Program is a standalone offer. Combining with other discounts or credits is not standard; contact Auth0 sales to confirm for your specific situation.
How long does approval take?
Usually 5–10 business days. You'll receive an email confirmation with activation instructions. Rejection is possible if you don't meet eligibility criteria; no detailed feedback is guaranteed.
