- B2B SaaS is not dying; claims of its demise are exaggerated by people without real business experience.
- Businesses buy SaaS to offload non-core competencies, valuing focus on their own expertise over building and maintaining tools.
- The classic 'build vs buy' decision remains unchanged: building in-house has upfront costs plus ongoing maintenance, often exceeding SaaS costs.
- Critics often undervalue their time, spending weeks to build replacements for small monthly savings, which is impractical for real businesses.
- Doom-predicting about SaaS is often engagement farming or fear-mongering for profit, similar to past crypto hype.
- Real businesses are increasingly choosing to buy SaaS to let teams focus on core tasks, as seen with Keygen's 40% revenue growth and low churn rate.
