If the service provides the accounts used for the things that work best through the api ( you wouldn't have access to them, they would just be used for you ) it would negate any of the risks involved.
I'm using a setup very similar to this for a custom wait and reply bot ( 1 api account for listening on the streaming api and hundreds for replying ). Hundreds of reply accounts have been banned while i figured out the right settings but the api account has not been banned in almoast a year and is still going... And because i'm using the streaming api and i get instant notifications my bot is ALWAYS the first replier. This gives extra exposure to the replies ( to get an ideea: one reply every ~5 minutes brings about 1500-2000 unique visitors daily on complete autopilot ).
The accounts i reply to do not even have that many followers ( average is about 150k i think ), only a handfull have over one million.
Even if twitter decides to remove/limit the streaming api ( they won't ) it's relatively easy to switch to a classic search ( even though it's much slower and inefficient )

The Cloud is the future. Web Apps are the future. I still don't understand why in 2015 the guys who make bots keeps making them the old way, meaning running on the user's computer and not running in the cloud, I mean, from an end-user's point of view, Web Apps are a dream, you can access them anywhere in the world, no need to be on your computer all the time, no need to let your computer running 24/7, no need to install/update and all those annoying things, you could even manage your bots on the beach from your phone isn't awesome?
Anyway, if your bot includes an accounts creator, I'm definitely buying it.
About the price, this is just my opinion but it should be a one-time payment. Monthly/yearly payments are what keeps me away from buying bots.

This is a great idea. You could always spin-up (or down) cloud servers as needed! =)

Ive been working also on the SaaS model, but with a Point of Sale and logistics system.
For tools like twitter following and that there are some terms of service from the API that will require you to follow. Or else with a Browser side using NodeJS like CasperJS it could be possible using proxys, or using PHP with the CURL and setting up proxys and doing operations with login and password instead of a token.
Also it should be limited to few people because if it grows it can get a Cease and Desist order that makes the software lose important features as happend with TweetAdder that the unfollow tool now is manual.
This is why Im very grateful with myself that Ive made the decision of learning code few years ago. Im not computer engineer, but Ive always liked this but I was a script kiddie.
Good thread OP!
