Thanks for the mention (I work for FusionAuth).
I'm curious what solution you ended up determining best fit your needs?

I'm someone looking for auth/security products. you won't reel me in like that.
FusionAuth has a dual deployment model. You can either run it locally (or host it yourself) for free, or you can pay us to run it for you. Most devs want to kick tires and run it locally, which is why the downloads page has those commands.
There are features that do require a license, but we have plenty of people running with plenty of MAU on the free version (we call it the 'community' edition).
Sorry if it wasn't clear.
