+## How is this different from `X`?
+
+Ask yourself about `X`:
+
+- Is `X` open-source?
+- Is `X` developer-friendly, well-documented, and lets you get started in minutes?
+- Besides authentication, does `X` also do authorization and user management (which you'll inevitably need; eg. multi-tenancy with teams/organizations, role-based access control, password authentication, user dashboard, analytics integration)?
+
+If you answered "no" to any of these questions, that's how Stack Auth is different from `X`.
