SaaS

Definition: Software you rent by subscription and use in a browser instead of buying once and installing. You pay for access, and the vendor handles hosting, updates, and security.

Why it matters when comparing prices

Nearly every product on PlanPrice is SaaS, so the pricing question is never the sticker price — it is the total cost over the years you will use it. Compare subscription totals across two or three years, not month one, and remember that when you stop paying, access ends: your data export plan matters as much as the monthly rate.
