# Kinde

An authentication, billing, and access management service for SaaS applications, sold to developers building software products.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Vercel's AI SDK includes user authentication and billing features, and Kinde offers the same auth-plus-monetization stack to the same frontend and full-stack developers building SaaS products on Vercel.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Kinde Auth, billing and access management for modern SaaS products

> Secure and monetize your product from day one

> Add powerful auth and billing to your product with just a few lines of code
