September 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table vv2026-09.2, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

5 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. SuperTokens was named 5 times in CIAM and 1 other category, where Auth0 led with 22%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Standing by category

Every category where a model named SuperTokens for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for SuperTokens yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated SuperTokens across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“SuperTokens emerges as a standout choice due to its developer-friendly approach combined with strong security features at an affordable price point” Claude Haiku 4.5 · CIAM · budget prompt · alternative

“SuperTokens is also recommended for startups and smaller projects due to its simplicity, security, and adaptability” Mistral Small · IGA · budget prompt · alternative

“Go with SuperTokens if you want zero ongoing costs and are comfortable with self-hosting” MiniMax M2.5 · CIAM · budget prompt · alternative

“If you want a completely free, self-hosted solution, SuperTokens is an excellent choice.” Mistral Small · CIAM · budget prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SuperTokens. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 8 of the 10 answers that named SuperTokens and are not a share of its labels.

Names read as SuperTokens

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as SuperTokens; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when SuperTokens's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as SuperTokens, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at supertokens.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
