Do you think it makes more sense to sell and software to individual customers or turn the product into SaaS?
Both in terms of money and business

What is SaaS?
SaaS stands for Software as a Service. It's a software delivery model in which a third-party provider hosts applications and makes them available to customers over the internet. Instead of installing software on their own computers or servers, customers can access the software through a web browser or an application programming interface (API).

With SaaS, customers typically pay a subscription fee to access the software, and the provider is responsible for maintaining the software and ensuring it's up-to-date and secure. This can make SaaS a cost-effective and efficient solution for businesses and individuals who need access to software without the hassle of managing it themselves.

SaaS can include a wide range of applications, from productivity tools like email and document management to more specialized software like customer relationship management (CRM) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Popular examples of SaaS include Salesforce, Dropbox, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Office 365.
 
If you sell software to "individual" companies, i.e. if the software license belongs to the company, you will definitely earn much money + you will get money (mostly monthly) for its maintenance.

If you do SaaS, you need good marketing, you have to advertise and definitely invest more money. If you have a good "innovative" product, maybe you don't need such a big investment. But definitely if you're creating a software model that already exists... prepare a good amount of money for marketing.

If you ask me, definitely selling to individual companies!
 
If you have long term vision, go with saas. Some people built profitable startups with this approach.

Depends if you want passive income or active income. If you could build something SaaS related and market it would be more worthwhile than just working daily. You could also probably do both, build a SaaS product AND work as a freelancer as well.

I think exactly the same way.
