+This article will be comparing SuperTokens to Node’s most popular [session management](https://www.packetlabs.net/posts/session-management/) library – express-session. The comparison will be done using a point system, where a point will be awarded to a library’s score if it performs well in a given metric. Here are the metrics we will be using:
+
+- Security: This is especially relevant because we’re talking about user session management.
+- Scalability: Time and space costs. This is relevant because most API calls require session authentication.
+- Reliability and Correctness: It is imperative that the library takes care of technical issues like keeping its state consistent despite network or server failures and taking care of synchronising its logic in a clustered environment.
+- App User experience: We want to use a library that can provide the right experience for your app users – for example, does the library enable a user to be logged in for weeks or months whilst also providing good security?
+- Time to production: We will look at factors such as time to integrate the library into an app, available support, and ease of understanding of the library code.
+- Maintenance cost: We will assess costs for runtime (RAM and processing power) and internal and external monetary costs.
