SaaS (Software as a Service)

SaaS is software you pay for as a subscription and access online. Think Xero, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Google Workspace. SaaS tools are popular because they are easy to start and often integrate well. For automation, SaaS matters because good SaaS tools usually offer APIs, webhooks, and native integrations. If your stack is mostly SaaS, you are in a good spot to automate without custom development.
