Does anyone know of the different community softwares that are on the market? They can be paid(saas) or free like facebook groups. Any that anyone knows of will be a great help!

Phpfox

Social Engine

Dolphin

ColibriSM (sp?)

BuddyPress

VBulletin

IPB

WoWonder

Massive list here too: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/

There's so so many. The software is the easiest part, building your community is the hard part.

So many people think it's enough to throw up a site and get members (build it and they'll come) but you need to live on it for it to grow.

That said though, if you're serious just write your own, all the avaialable software has different fail points/limits and none of them will meet your idea of what a community software should be.
