(I should disclose upfront that I'm the founder of FusionAuth)

The core of FusionAuth isn't open source, but a good portion of the code built around the core is open source. It is free and has a large, growing community and integrates with any language.

Plus, you get the benefit of a having a company behind it that is constantly improving and updating the product.

I'd be happy to talk more about our licensing model and why we chose it if anyone is interested.

Is the self-hosted solution limited in some sense or feature complete?

[brokenwren]

It has all of the same features as the Cloud version, including unlimited Enterprise Connections (SAML and OIDC) for free.

The only features that required a paid-Edition are: Connectors (connecting to LDAP and other backends), Advanced Registration Forms, and Breached Password Detection.

We are adding additional paid features as well, but our Developer Edition is reasonably priced. $125/month to start and that gets you up to 10,000 MAU. You can also test drive Developer Edition free for 14-days.

I have used FusionAuth for a few projects now, both personal side projects and work projects. My only qualm is that it is Java based and relatively heavy on the laptop if you’re running a local dev instance in Docker. I love the product though, the support is fantastic and the docs are straightforward. I’m a big fan, great work FusionAuth team.
