We are looking for a Saas product that could offload all the user management part out of the core product, i.e. a tool that handle loads of tedious things related to user management, like: sign up, authentication, password recovery, billing status and subscription, front-facing self-serve for user account and download invoices page, etc. Any recommandations ?

Teams where I work are using firebase for app account management. Some of the other bits you mentioned are in Salesforce unfortunately

We're making Saasform, I'd be happy to talk to you and show you where we are. Contact in my profile.

It's going to be open source and integrate authentication, payments and common growth & marketing tools (Google Analytics, Tag Manager, etc). Specifically, user registration + login, account recovery, subscriptions, payments (Stripe), team member invites...

Saasform is built with security and usability in mind. It's a standalone service including its own datastore, i.e. it's not a boilerplate, so you can build your SaaS with the tech stack you'd like, even serverless. All you need to do is to integrate Saasform authentication in your backend or functions.

Edit: elaborated.

Heya! We're building something for this exact use-case with Memberstack and are in Alpha. Want to drop me an email if you're interested? naitik@memberstack.com

I don't have a specific recommendation, but I can tell you that many SaaS products have comparison charts which are enlightening when looking for a new solution. If someone is close to your needs, look through their marketing and see who they consider to be the strong competitors in their own market... then research them all.

userbase.com. Not sure if it checks all of your boxes, but worthing looking.

I'm building https://divjoy.com, which gives you everything you list as part of a Node/React/Firebase/Stripe codebase. It's fairly lightweight. You handle admin stuff through your Firebase and Stripe console directly. It integrates with Stripe's hosted Checkout [0] and Customer Portal [1], so all that user-facing UI is handled by Stripe.
