Can you use it commercially?
With conditions

Mostly AGPL-3.0 with additional terms: the "Powered by Hydro" footer and link must stay, and modified source must also be released under AGPL-3.0. If you need closed source, the README says to contact the authors for a separate license.

How hard is it to deploy?
Easy

A one-command install script. The README recommends Debian 12 and supports x86_64 and arm64. The script does not support CentOS and warns if it detects the BT panel; use a clean system.

What does it cost?
Low

The software is free and the README says it runs on a Raspberry Pi. If you would rather not host it, there is a free hosted version. Server requirements were not found here.
