SaaS web development differs from traditional software development in several ways:
Installation: SaaS doesn’t require installation and can be run directly from a web browser, while regular computer application software needs to be installed and maintained.
Architecture: SaaS apps require different architecture than traditional software since they’re designed to be multi-tenant.
Pricing: SaaS application software often comes with a monthly subscription, while traditional software has a one-time payment.
Upgrades and maintenance: In SaaS products, providers are the ones responsible for updates and maintenance, while traditional software typically requires the user or an IT team to make upgrades.
Scalability: SaaS apps are highly scalable, while regular computer application software may not be designed with the same scalability in mind.
