SaaS differs from software licensing, where users download software onto their servers. SaaS users never download software. Instead, they subscribe to your service hosted on your web servers. SaaS contracts are common in the machine learning market. Some AI companies are connecting with an API from another provider to offer white-label solutions and commercialization (i.e., OpenAI).
