Our company was considering switching back to Keycloak from ForgeRock, so as to not pay any license fees. ForgeRock also supports M-PIN and biometric features that Keycloak does not provide. My company started developing for M-PIN and biometric, a reason why my company continues with the product.
ForgeRock's pricing is more competitive than other products. I worked on a very big project about ten years ago. Oracle was extremely aggressive on pricing, and they go based on the number of users. Oracle offers very less pricing for educational projects. I'm unsure about ForgeRock's pricing structure for the financial industry, education universities, and big projects.

ForgeRock is an open-source tool. You can download it directly via the browser. It's only when you want to use their extensive features, you might have to think about the pricing. ForgeRock is booming because it's an open-source tool and it provides good value. It's comparable to a licensed solution. We pay a maintenance fee.

The solution costs $2 per user. Any custom development involves additional fees. If the use case is only for the workforce and only to implement a single sign-on solution using standard out-of-the-box features, then this is the right tool to go for.
The license is purchased annually per user. However, you can negotiate if you are signing for a longer period of time. When comparing this solution to others on the market it is priced fair, it is not at the top of the price range or at the bottom end.

Its licensing is on a yearly basis, but it also depends on the contract that you have with the vendor. They have multiple types of contracts. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees. If you need some of the features, you have to pay more.

In terms of usage, it's not our standard cost. We're not doing it for our purpose. We have multiple clients we are looking at right now. We are at a very small number, however, the idea and the goal is to grow. We are looking at about $100,000 and $50,000 a minimum a month cost. That'd be minimum maybe in a couple of years. We expect that to double, at least based on how many solutions we scale to. The amount of money we spend on ForgeRock will depend on the number of clients we get. Right now it is on one product, so it is not that much currently. If we scale it to other products, that number will change drastically.

The licences for this solution are available for a period of either one, or two years.
The pricing of the solution is fair but I do not have the full details.

It's a bit pricey and could be more competitive.
You need to negotiate the pricing, so how expensive or affordable it ends up being depends on each individual contract.
