FusionAuth

Self-hosted customer identity management with no per-user pricing

freemiumupdated Apr 21, 2026

FusionAuth is a customer identity and access management platform that can be self-hosted or cloud-deployed with no per-user fees. It supports OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, passwordless login, social providers, MFA, and advanced threat detection. Features a drag-and-drop theme builder for login page customization and supports multi-tenant application architectures with unlimited users on the community edition.

FusionAuth addresses the cost problem that plagues identity management at scale by offering a pricing model with no per-user fees. While competitors like Auth0 and Okta charge increasing amounts as user counts grow, FusionAuth's community edition supports unlimited users on self-hosted infrastructure, and the paid editions charge flat subscription rates for premium features rather than per-monthly-active-user pricing. This makes FusionAuth economically attractive for applications with large user bases.

The platform provides comprehensive customer identity features including OAuth2 and OIDC for modern authentication, SAML for enterprise SSO integration, passwordless login through magic links and WebAuthn, social login with dozens of providers, configurable multi-factor authentication, and advanced threat detection that identifies suspicious login patterns. The drag-and-drop theme builder allows customization of login pages, registration forms, and email templates without CSS expertise.

FusionAuth supports multi-tenant architectures where a single installation serves multiple applications or customer organizations with isolated user pools, separate configurations, and independent branding. The self-hosted deployment option using Docker or bare-metal installation gives organizations complete control over their identity data and infrastructure. The API-first design provides comprehensive REST endpoints for all identity operations, with SDKs available for Java, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and other languages.
