What the Team is Saying
What We Do
FusionAuth builds software for developers needing to add authentication to their software products.

And we've built a fast growing business by offering paid plans and hosting with higher end features and support.
It's Product Led Growth at its best. Start with the free version, then when your business depends on customers logging into your application, upgrade to our full featured plans. Over 3,000 companies already have..
Why Work With Us
FusionAuth is a founder-led company. We are profitable but recently raised an investment round to accelerate our growth (more on that here: https://fusionauth.io/blog/fusionauth-funding).
