Trend: Companies canceling SaaS to build in-house AI software
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-08-29
Observation on cost structures in the AI era:
If you already own your database, schema, and AI code, paying for SaaS subscriptions on top may not make sense. It might be better to just build your own software.
The historical cycle suggests:
- Database migration was popular.
- Then migration from on-prem to cloud.
- Next stage: Canceling SaaS and building your own software.
