SaaS
Software you pay for monthly instead of buying once.
What is SaaS?
SaaS (Software as a Service) means delivering software over the internet on a subscription basis. Lovable, Cursor, Supabase — all SaaS. Most apps built with vibe coding tools are themselves SaaS.
SaaS is the most common business model for vibe coded apps because it creates recurring revenue. Instead of a one-time sale, you get paid every month.
In Vibe Coding
SaaS is the most common thing vibe coders build. The typical stack: Next.js + Supabase + Stripe + Vercel. You build the product with Lovable or Cursor, add payments with Stripe, and deploy to Vercel.
Example
For example: Instead of selling a mobile app for $5 once, you charge $19/month for access to a web app. Netflix, Slack, and Notion are all SaaS. Your vibe coded app can be one too.
