- Someone 1y agoSaaS = “Software as a Service”, not “Software as a Subscription”. I think it’s when the developer keeps providing a service. Think of - being given a vacuum cleaner - buying a vacuum cleaner - renting a leasing a vacuum cleaner - paying someone to periodically vacuum your house Only the last, for me, is “as a service”. An app that runs 100% on your system that doesn’t require the app developer to do something specially for you, for me falls under one of the other three (freeware, buying, subscription) But yes, I agree the OP doesn’t seem to be doing SaaS, either, given that they say the one-time payment covers all expenses (that cannot be true if they are having costs after the sale and that payment is for all time)
