This essay sheds light on what is the software as a service business model, demystifies the different types of software as a service pricing models, and expounds upon the problems with companies leveraging the software as a service business model. Succinctly stated, the software as a service business model is a type of business model that involves a company furnishing its customers with access to its software programs on a subscription basis. The software as a service business model is the antithesis of a "one-time-cost, no-subscription model" in which a company develops software programs and sets forth non-subscription prices for their software programs. The "one-time-cost, no-subscription model" in which a company develops software programs and sets forth non-subscription prices for their software programs is eminently appealing to customers since it allows them to be able to purchase a perpetual license to access software programs without needing to incessantly acquiesce to paying a recurring subscription fee on a monthly basis to be able to maintain their access to the software programs. Paying a steep one-time payment to procure a perpetual license to access a software program bears a significantly lower cost for a customer to incur in the long haul than unremittingly paying a recurring subscription fee on a monthly basis for him to be able to maintain his access to a software program. In stark contrast to the "one-time-cost, no-subscription model", the software as a service business model does not entails a company furnishing the members of its target market with the option to be able to purchase a perpetual license to access its software programs. Companies that leverage the software as a service business model only offer the members of their target market the option to purchase a temporary license to access their software programs. Once a customer purchases a temporary license to access a software program from a company that leverages the software as a service business model, he then will no longer have access to the software program once his subscription lapses. A temporary license to access a software program is devoid of long-term utility. This is because a temporary license to access a software program is no longer able to offer utility to the customer once its expiration date has elapsed. Companies that leverage the software as a service business model and that only offer the members of their target market the option to purchase a temporary license to access their software programs will set forth subscription prices to purchase a temporary license to access their software programs. The subscription prices to purchase a temporary license to access the software programs of the companies that leverage the software as a service business model are often significantly lower priced than the non-subscription prices to procure a perpetual license to access the software programs of the companies that leverage the "one-time-cost, no-subscription model". Customers are all the more enticed to purchase a temporary license to access the software programs that they yearn to access from the companies that leverage the software as a service business model in contexts in which the temporary license to access the software programs that they yearn to access is significantly lower priced to purchase over the course of multiple months relative to the prices of procuring a perpetual license to access the software programs from the companies that leverage the "one-time-cost, no-subscription model". Customers are pining to have the option to pay a low price be able to procure a temporary license to access the software programs that they yearn to access from the companies that leverage the software as a service business model in contexts in which the companies do not offer a free subscription service that would furnish customers with a temporary license to access the software programs that they yearn to access. Companies that leverage the software as a service business model can offer a free subscription service that would furnish customers with a temporary license to access the software programs that they yearn to access and can earn revenue by monetizing their free subscription service with advertisements. It is possible for a free subscription service to be replete with advertisements. Companies that leverage the software as a service business model often require their customers to log into their account via the internet. "Software as a service is commonly accessed through a web browser with users logging into the system with a username and password. The user can access the program via the internet rather than each user having to install the software on their computer". Software programs are unable to provide utility to customers in contexts in which the customers are unable to access the internet and the software programs can only be utilized once the customers have logged into their account via the internet.
