I disagree. you could be buying a SaaS for it's technology which could alone be worth a lot of development hours and tested code is very valuable imo vs. rollin

I disagree. you could be buying a SaaS for it's technology which could alone be worth a lot of development hours and tested code is very valuable imo vs. rolling out your own. This of course won't apply to 99% of SaaS which seem to be just CRUD apps wrapped around bootstrap themes with the vanilla $19/month with a free plan. The more technically complex a SaaS means the problem it's solving is more complex. Lack of sales could mean a business or marketing issue. I wouldn't mind paying $100,000 for a complete SaaS if the product worked as advertised and the minimum time and development resources needed to replicate it was very high.
