Most people will reach for BetterAuth when they would reach for NextAuth. Basically, when you want to integrate OIDC or SSO of some kind.
Back when I was looking at it a couple of months ago, the big thing that popped out was that BetterAuth supports email and password out of the box, where NextAuth seems to have a preachy disclaimer about how email and password is inherently insecure, so they leave you to your own devices to implement password hashing and the like.
That did give a sense that NextAuth was the first to dominate the space and feels as though they can dictate morals.
BetterAuth seems to be a bit more developer-focused.
