Define successful.
I run a SaaS that relies on one time payment. The income currently covers all the expenses, and leaves me some nice pocket money.
Is this model for everyone? No. The unique proposition of my service is actually the one time payment aspect. Does everything should be subscription? No. I avoid subscriptions as much as possible, unless there is a cost involved in running the service.
So YMMV. I wouldn’t pay a subscription for a MacOS app, unless there is an ongoing operational cost for the developer.
Feel free to email me (profile -> website) if you want to chat.
Is it really a SaaS if it doesn't rely on recurring subscriptions? I thought the definition of a SaaS is the recurring subscription model.
