SaaS makes more money and fits into the 4HourWorkWeek “make recurring revenue from people” playbook.
Building a thing and selling it seems like it will make less money to me.
It’s funny that on a larger scale I used to hate enterprise software. It took a year to install and had to be patched and run servers and stuff. But you paid a big amount and then like 10-20%/year for maintenance and that’s it. So many things are saas and cost $500-100+/user/year and it’s not just the cost but it’s the planning and gatekeeping. Making it available to more users can be expensive. I kind miss the simplicity of budgeting $1M and being done. Now each year it’s figuring out who really needs it and cleaning up expired accounts and being stingy on if another team can use it or not.
One of my favorite things was how easy it was to scale and share with new users.
