SMS auth with Convex
Hi guys, building out an Expo RN app and I have it all setup with Clerk right now for SMS authentication. Saw Clerk's pricing based on MAUs and was wondering if Convex Auth priced similarly. My main way of authenticating users right now would be based on SMS verification codes (but will likely also support Google/Apple down the line).
I know the Convex team recommends third-party auth solutions but does anyone has experience using Convex Auth in a prod app? Would love to hear from the community!

Alternatively, has anyone ever tried to use Convex in conjunction with Supabase for auth? That is, Convex for the realtime DB, Supabase for authentication.
Convex Auth doesn't have any MAU concept, it's just code running in your Convex deployment. So you get billed for associated function calls, just like any other function calls. I'm using it in Expo with email OTP and it works really well.
