What Does SaaS Mean?

SaaS stands for Software as a Service. Instead of installing software locally, users access the product through the internet, usually through a subscription model.

Examples of SaaS Functionality

Common SaaS products include project management platforms, CRM systems, accounting tools, communication platforms and analytics products.

How a SaaS Platform Works

A SaaS application usually includes authentication, user accounts, databases, subscription management, billing, dashboards and an administrative system.

Why Businesses Build SaaS

SaaS can allow software companies to serve multiple customers through a centralized platform and continuously release improvements.

How Much Does a SaaS MVP Cost?

A focused SaaS MVP may start around a few thousand dollars, depending on the product workflow and required integrations. Complex SaaS products can require substantially larger budgets.
