what is a saas website?

Software as a Service, so basically software on demand, where you pay a monthly/yearly subscription to use their software e.g. tools like semrush/ahrefs.
 
Few examples of Saas for your information and knowledge:
  • Cisco WebEx.
  • Google Workspace (formerly GSuite)
  • Dropbox.
  • SAP Concur
 
SAAS stands for software as a service. When people access their website, they can take and use the powerful software functionality behind the site.

It also has a robust database.

Think of SAAS as specialized software that you can access anytime with a web browser from all over the world.

Many companies prefer using SAAS instead of downloaded and locally installed software because they don't have to worry about security updates and ensuring they're using the latest version.

SAAS also allows for per-use payment models.

Unlike many software that you can download and install locally, SAAS allows you to pay for what you use.

You can stop your subscription if you no longer need it after a month, such as Semrush.

If you can think of a hot idea that would work on a SAAS model, you might have a nice source of monthly passive income.
 
When the app requires an internet connection and installation on your own computer, then it's likely SAAS.

I have another definition.

SaaS is when the app cannot be cracked or easily copied because it's hosted on someone's server.

So it's just an app on the internet people access through their web browser.

BTW it's hard model if you want to sell software. Nobody wants to pay recurring payments.

I would just sell at one time payment of $79 or $179 depending on software complexity and let them do whatever.

Everything depends on your situation and how bad you need the money.

Yeah I agree. As a user, I don't like the subscription model. It's like selling a car that doesn't change much year after year, but you're still receiving payments like it does. That's one of the hidden agenda for online businesses that resort to subscription models, they want consistent revenue without the burden of pressure to improve or upgrade their product.

when it comes to business software, people want to pay recurring fee to ensure that they are getting the latest and not have to worry about backup, virus, data theft and ultimately want a software provider that will continuously have to take care of you in order to get paid on a regular basis

Couldn't you just google this?

then how could he get to 100 posts?!!!!!!! watch next question is going to be: what is the difference between whitehat and blackhat?

I think this is not the type of software I meant. Here you would have custom pricing and pretty much everything adjusted to your needs. It becomes more of a custom software development with high maintenance fee due to its enterprise nature. Most SaaS are for mass client and they don't offer what you described.
