better-auth

next auth/authjs

better-auth is better, and it also supports prisma.

So i should use better-auth then i founded out about Auth.js??

better-auth has a lot more features and it is customizable.

However, authjs supports more databases unlike better-auth

im usining prisma for everything in my projects 😄

i want like licensing system for users to authenticate to theyr account where they have licenses. So better-auth will be best for this option?

choosing auth is based on opinion. I prefer better-auth.

If you want full control over your auth, i recommend lucia-auth guide to rolling your own auth. There are also examples for prisma: https://lucia-auth.com/sessions/basic-api/prisma

Read "Basic API" then "Cookies" guide for Next.js.

You can then implement rate limiting and throttling by using in-memory cache.
