Is AccountMaker the right fit?
AccountMaker is built for products that treat identity as part of their public surface, not a convenience feature.
You are probably here because:
- Shared login domains feel wrong for a serious product
- Security emails should clearly belong to your product
- Identity and email complexity has caused problems before
- Fewer moving parts matters more than quick setup
This page is here to save you time.
AccountMaker makes deliberate tradeoffs. This page explains who those tradeoffs work for — and who they do not.
AccountMaker is a good fit if:
Your product has external users
Customers, partners, or clients log in and receive security-related emails.
You want users to trust login and email immediately
You want login pages and transactional emails to come from your domain, not a provider’s.
You treat trust and safety as product features
Reducing phishing risk and confusion is part of how you evaluate infrastructure.
You expect the product to exist for years
You want stable identity foundations instead of temporary scaffolding.
AccountMaker is probably not a good fit if:
You need hosted UI immediately
AccountMaker assumes control over your domain and identity surface.
You want to send marketing or outreach email
Email is limited to authentication and operational use.
You are building a short-lived prototype
Domain-first identity adds overhead that may not be worth it for experiments.
You need anonymous or disposable accounts
AccountMaker prioritizes clear ownership and identity signals.
Why fit matters here
AccountMaker is intentionally narrow. By limiting scope and enforcing domain identity, it reduces risk and ambiguity — but this only works if those constraints match your goals.
- Domain verification introduces upfront friction
- Restricted email capabilities limit some use cases
- Identity behavior is explicit, not magic
Common questions
Can a team start small and change later?
Yes. Many teams begin on Alpha and move to Stable when they need predictability.
Does AccountMaker replace application UI?
No. AccountMaker handles identity infrastructure, not product UI.
What to read next
If this matches how you think about identity, AccountMaker will feel natural.
If not, it is better to know early.
