I haven't seen the level of reporting on the paid service because I don't have it, but I get reporting on a free, public server.

The paid version gives you access to all the reporting from the test ran against your server.

I think the motivation for the paid/onsite version of ookla was so that we could say how good our customers speed is, without going through the internet. We
can’t control utilization on the Internet, but we can internally.

Aaron,
How does the https://account.speedtestcustom.com/login
differ from hosting a speedtest.net server as an ISP, and letting anyone test through it? Seems the speedtest custom is a paid option, but hosting a
speedtest.net server is free if you allow it to the public domain. Sure it uses up bandwidth (which I am sure you have a ton of), so I don't see the point of having a custom one?
