You are saying the plan was to buy a "price-beating competitor", invest in them for 16 years, and then finally pull the rug out now?

  They’re not competition if you own them! Typepad continued for over a decade after it was purchased. Auth0 is still in maintenance mode afaik. It can last as long as revenue pays for the FTE to maintain it, or until corporate reallocated the FTE to higher revenue-per-FTE-hour opportunities.

    Auth0 still has a ton of people working on it at Okta. If they’re facing execution problems, it’s not due to a lack of resources.

      Auth0 and Okta serves two different market segments. You’d use Autho0 for your customers and Okta for your employees.

        That’s why they bought Auth0 in the first place. They didn’t have a real offering for customer identity.

    Auth0 is constantly releasing new features, including a new major offering now for AI agents. Plus is still very active in the development community, with open source like OpenFGA, frameworks, contributions to standards and so much more. Not sure where the maintenance mode is coming from...
