New API Version available with Clerk Billing updates
/billing path to replace the legacy /commerce endpoints for all billing-related functionality.More details can be found in the upgrade guide linked above.
You can now view churned cohorts in your growth charts by selecting the negative segment of your growth chart. Just hover over or click the negative segment of your growth chart for any period to see a cohort of churned users or organizations.
Hovering or selecting the positive segment will now show you only the active users or organizations for that period as well.
By further combining the New, Retained, and Reactivated filters with the positive or negative segments, you can isolate growth or churn trends and see exactly who is using - or not using - your application.
Head to the Overview page of your production instance to begin exploring your user base's activity.
Navigate the Clerk Dashboard with just a few keystrokes, search the docs, switch workspaces, applications, or instances, and let AI guide you wherever you need to go.
The command menu is now live in the Clerk Dashboard. Navigate anywhere with just a few keystrokes, whether you're jumping between workspaces, searching our docs, or finding a specific setting you've never configured before.
As your dashboard grows with more workspaces, applications, and settings, finding what you need shouldn't get harder. The command menu unifies your entire dashboard: workspaces, applications, instances, documentation, and settings pages, all in one place.
Know the name of the workspace you want to jump to? Search for it. Don't remember how to use one of our hooks? Search our docs and jump in.
When you don't know the exact name or where something lives, AI steps in. The command menu understands what you're looking for, even when you describe it in plain language.
Don't know where SMS MFA settings live? Type "enable SMS MFA" and it takes you there. Need to change your domain but can't remember if there's even a domains page? Just describe what you need, and the command menu finds it.
It uses your dashboard context to understand what you're trying to do and takes you there.
Open the command menu with ⌘+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) inside any application in the Clerk Dashboard.
Free trials just got more flexible! You can now choose whether users need to provide a payment method before starting their trial.
Previously, all free trials required a payment method upfront. Now there's a simple toggle in your billing settings that lets you decide what works best for your business.
By disabling the payment method requirement, this lets users begin their trial instantly, skipping payment details.
When enabled, you keep the previous behavior where payment methods are required upfront — useful for preventing trial abuse and ensuring smooth transitions to paid subscriptions.
Head to your billing settings in the Clerk Dashboard to find the new toggle.
Track your organization metrics with the same depth as user analytics
We're excited to announce that the Clerk Dashboard now includes comprehensive organization growth tracking. Just as you've been able to monitor user growth with detailed retention and churn metrics, you can now access the same level of insight for your organizations.
The new organization growth chart provides detailed breakdowns of your organization activity over time, tracking new, reactivated, retained, and churned organizations across each period
Organization growth data includes flexible time-based filtering options. You can analyze your data across different time periods to see daily active organizations, weekly active organizations, or monthly active organizations based on which interval you select. Customize date ranges to gain deeper insights into your organization adoption patterns and behavior over time.
Below the growth chart, you'll find a detailed organization cohort table that provides a granular look at individual organizations, their status, member counts, and creation dates. You can click directly on any segment of the chart above to filter the cohort table and view the specific organizations that make up that data point, making it easy to identify trends and investigate specific cohorts in detail.
This update brings parity between user and organization analytics, giving you a complete picture of growth across your application. Stay tuned for more planned improvements to organization insights!
See how different LLMs perform at writing Clerk-specific code
Clerk has launched the LLM Leaderboard, a transparent benchmark showing how different large language models (LLMs) perform when writing Clerk-specific code.
As more developers use AI assistants to build their applications, having clear, objective data on which LLMs are best at writing Clerk integrations helps developers choose the right AI tool for their projects.
The leaderboard evaluates LLMs based on their ability to generate working Clerk integration code from simple, real-world prompts. Each model is tested using the same criteria and scenarios to ensure fair comparison.
Current tests focus on Next.js integrations, with plans to expand to additional frameworks and use cases over time.
Check out the LLM Leaderboard to see the latest performance scores across popular models.
The eval suite is open source. To learn about the testing methodology, report issues, or if you want to contribute, visit the GitHub repository. If you want to get involved or provide feedback on how Clerk works with AI tooling, with us.
