two-meter to me means HAM spectrum that requires a license to operate and they tend to have a much higher output.

Walkie Talkie is consumer and no license.

The commercial FRS/GMRS ones requires a $90 annual license.

Right. Same page. Although as I understand it, consumer FRS/GMRS two-way radios like the one you linked only require a license for the GMRS channels. Also, it looks like the GMRS 5-year license cost has effectively dropped from $90 to $65 by eliminating a $5/year fee: http://www.buytwowayradios.com/blog/2015/05/fcc_eliminates_g...
