Company information
The facts on file
- Description
- FusionAuth is a customer identity and access management (CIAM) platform available as free self-hosted software or as a managed FusionAuth Cloud service, built around OAuth2/OIDC/SAML standards with every feature exposed via API. It targets development and platform teams — particularly B2C and mid-market B2B SaaS — that want data residency control or on-prem deployment while keeping the option to move to managed hosting without changing vendor.

- Pricing
- Starter from $162/mo (billed annually, at the page default of 1,000 MAUs), community-forum support only, basic hosting included · free tier: Community — free, unlimited, self-hosted with core authentication features and community support (forums, Slack, GitHub); passkeys/WebAuthn and biometrics reportedly require registering a free Community licence pricing page ↗
- Regulatory
- Vendor security page states FusionAuth is 'GDPR and HIPAA BAA Compliant' and can be deployed on any server worldwide; the pricing table lists COPPA Compliant, GDPR Compliant and Consent Management as line items. A SOC 2 claim appears only in vendor-supplied G2 copy — the Trust Center at trust.fusionauth.io could not be retrieved, so SOC 2 status is UNVERIFIED and the current Type II report should be requested directly.
