Mathematica Online is in the middle. It will run on Wolfram's servers through a web browser, so you don't need to run a kernel. This is targeted at users who work remotely, switch computers, want to work on an iPad, or whatever. Instead of paying for a license you own, you pay a monthly fee and then get 'free' version upgrades and the like. You can use Mathematica 10 to author and deploy through the Wolfram Cloud, as long as you have a Wolfram Cloud product subscription. For example, if you get Premier Service Plus, or purchase Mathematica Online, you can deploy from Mathematica 10 to the Cloud. Get extra access with Pro: step-by-step solutions, Web Apps, expert support, extended computation time, increased uploads. Student discount.
