FusionAuth - AI Tools Nav

What it is for

FusionAuth is an auth admin desk: you manage users in a table, and Community is $0 self-hosted (unlimited MAUs, core OAuth / OIDC / SAML). Use it when the job is users you start at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official FusionAuth Users list (search, name / email / tenant, actions) from the docs user-list still — not a pricing card. The table itself is ops of Users.

Key features

Users — an identity you search and edit (Users still; pricing Users). One person. Registrations, groups, and the cover actions menu are ops of this.
Applications — an OAuth / OIDC / SAML app a user registers to (pricing Authentication / Standards). An app, not a user. Themes on Starter+ sit here.
Tenants — an isolation boundary for users and apps (pricing Tenants). A wall, not an application. SSO Tenant Manager prints on Enterprise.
MFA — a second factor on login (pricing Multi-factor Authentication). TOTP is on Community; email / SMS / voice and intelligent policies are paid. Passkeys need a Free License even on Community.
Self-host / Cloud — the Community zip/Docker/K8s you run at $0, or FusionAuth Cloud on Starter+ (GitHub; pricing Deployment Options). A control plane, not a user. Community is unlimited and self-hosted only.

SDKs / Terraform / Kickstart are install. Identity-provider count is unlimited on every printed card.

Who it's for

Best fit: app teams who will stay on Community at $0 (self-host, unlimited MAUs, forum support) while they open a first Users table, then buy Starter at $162/month billed annually (1,000 MAU slider) when they need Cloud hosting, advanced MFA, and application themes.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from fusionauth.io/pricing. The page has a MAU slider; tiles below are the printed dollars at 1,000 MAUs. Other MAU stops will change the paid tiles — do not invent them. Starter prints Billed annually.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location.

Limitations / costs

$162 / $2,970 are the 1,000-MAU tiles. Drag the slider and the paid dollars move.
Community has no FusionAuth Cloud. A hosted region is Starter.
Essentials and Enterprise printed the same $2,970 at 1,000 MAUs. The difference is support and threat/SSO rows, not a second price we invented.
An auth desk, not an IdP you already listed. For SuperTokens sessions see SuperTokens. For authentik / Zitadel see those listings.

Alternatives

SuperTokens — session/auth core + Cloud MAU when you will not run FusionAuth’s Users admin.
Authentik — OSS IdP when you want a self-host IdP, not FusionAuth’s MAU Cloud tiles.
Zitadel — OSS identity Cloud when you prefer Zitadel’s project model.
