Have you looked at making your own freeze pops using reusable molds and lemonade? For example something like this? There is also this option if you don't want plastic, but those are less convenient for grab and go.
The Norpro & Progressive molds are the same - many professional popmakers, including myself, started out with these molds before scaling up to industrial equipment. I used them for 2 summers then upgraded to a machine using Ataforma's "Megamex" molds (90ml / ~3oz) - I recently closed my business (had a kid) but you can see my pops here: http://www.instagram.com/sixstrawberries - and here's me making volume with the plastic molds in the early days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGeLwNu_2E8
The type of stainless steel molds you've linked are for use in professional popsicle machines - Making these molds are YKchanger & protaylor out of china, and Ataforma out of Brazil. The machines to use with these molds are made by Protaylor in China, & Finamac or Fort-Frio out of Brazil. In our idea-sharing forum on FB (link for professionals to join in sidebar - and new forum coming soon on our own URL!) you'll find tons of discussion regarding the merits of different companies/machines/molds. I have my own opinions, but as moderator I try to stay fairly neutral, and voice that each manufacturer (china/brazil) has tons of customers using their products for professional use. In the end your choice of ingredients and your recipes will be more important than your tools! ;)
You can use the stainless molds in your home freezer - you can also find good stainless molds that are for home use: https://www.amazon.ca/Onyx-Stainless-Steel-Popsicle-Mold/dp/B003R4AHTK/ - but since you wouldn't be flash freezing anyhow the professional SS molds might be overkill...unless you'd like the volume and are okay with the pricetag.
I'm writing a novel here, so I'll wrap it up haha - let me know if you have followup questions, and best of luck with your popmaking! Welcome to the sub :)
