@better-auth/core
Advanced tools
The framework-independent core of Auth.js, providing authentication flows and provider integration. It is a closer architectural comparison than a complete drop-in replacement: both are low-level foundations, but their configuration models, APIs, and ecosystems differ.
A TypeScript authentication library centered on session and user-management primitives. It offers a more direct foundation for building an application's auth system, whereas Better Auth's core is intended to support Better Auth's plugin-based system and integrations. Lucia's project has been deprecated, so check its current status before choosing it.
A widely used Node.js authentication middleware framework with a strategy-based extension model. It is comparable for integrating authentication methods, but is oriented around Express-style middleware and strategies rather than Better Auth's own endpoint, plugin, and auth-server abstractions.
