Ferment your own, and you can season it the way you want it to taste and get the hotness that's most appropriate for you. It costs very little effort and money.

Made my first fermented hot sauce last weekend. I've become obsessed with it and it's half gone already, which means that it tastes awesome but it's not hot enough. For the next batch I probably need to add something like xanthan gum to keep the liquids and solids from separating. It would be awesome if I could find some carolina reapers to make it hot enough instead of habaneros, I am considering growing my own reapers, which is a whole other rabbit hole to go down.
