Great

[@happysloth91]

A membership site isn't a SaaS though.

[@cxa011500]

It's software, and you can charge a service fee for maintaining it. Software as a service.

[@SimonHoiberg]

If you're charging for it on a monthly/yearly subscription and the membership gives you access to content/features, I would call it a SaaS.

[@happysloth91]

@@SimonHoiberg no it's not. This is like Udemy. Udemy isn't a SaaS. Teachable however is a SaaS. Because you can use the *software* to create your own elearning platform. The same way a paid newsletter isn't a software. Gated content + membership doesn't make a SaaS. The membership isn't what make it a SaaS, that's just a business model. Sure the majority of them use the membership model but you can even sell it with a one-time fee. A SaaS has an input/output logic.

[@SimonHoiberg]

@@happysloth91 I think it's worth noting that there isn't really a universal definition of what a SaaS is - some call Netflix a SaaS. By your definition, it's not. I agree with your sentiment to some extent. Though, I'm not going to dwell too much on whether it is or isn't. The point of the video comes across fine regardless of whether you call it a SaaS or not 😊

[@happysloth91]

@@SimonHoiberg I'm not sayinc the video isn't valuable ofc. Love ur content. So nth personal. But if I'd want to build a SaaS (and I'd love to at some point), I'd need a tool that helps me build actual features (just like Bubble but hopefully a much better alternative comes along). Any examples of SaaS (by me definition) built on nocode tools? Just curious. Thanks and have a nice day buddy 😊

[@sovopl]

A membership website with courses is not classified as SaaS (Software as a Service). SaaS refers to platforms like Teachable or Webflow, which allow you to build websites with courses and membership options. On the other hand, Netflix, although it enables video streaming, does not fall under the category of SaaS. Platforms such as Dacast, Brightcove, StreamYard, or Restream, which provide the ability to stream your own video content or conduct live streaming, are examples of SaaS.

[@capnanaya4642]

At minut 8 he talks about that specific thing. Why haven't you watched it fully before commenting?

[@sovopl]

@@capnanaya4642 About what specific thing he talks at minut 8? If you add more features to membership site it still won't be a SaaS solution :) Webflow is SaaS, but not the product you build with it.

[@capnanaya4642]

@@sovopl You are completely wrong there. Netflix for example, DOES fall under the cathegory of SaaS (especially legally speaking) as first, there is a service being sold, and secondly, users are utilizing it to get something from that platform. By definition a software is "a set of instructions, technically referred to as programs, that perform operations". Meaning that regardless if you created your website with webflow or if you are just providing a seemingly "non-software" related service as you wrongly defined it, it is still labeled as a software service as it respects the definition, even if you are just sending back a text output of "hello" after a user's purchase, let alone giving full access to private courses.

[@sovopl]

​@@capnanaya4642 In my opinion Netflix and membership sites are not SaaS services, but understand what you mean and respect your opinion.

Would Webflow Logic be a good replacement for Bubble or Wized? Especially since Bubble can't be integrated with Webflow if I'm not mistaken? Love your videos, keep it up!

[@SimonHoiberg]

Yes, I believe so. When both Memberships + Logic is fully rolled out, I think we have a full Bubble replacement.

@Simon Høiberg would be great if you could do a WeWeb review as well, I read a lot of good reviews about it, and it seems to get a lot less attention than Bubble.

[@itsthemeg]

What do you think of making chrome extensions and selling services through that?

[@SimonHoiberg]

I know some people who made very good business from that! Though, I generally think a Chrome Extension is better suited as an addition to a product rather than being the product in itself.

[@itsthemeg]

​@@SimonHoiberg personally i feel people generally trust to pay premium membership fees for chrome extension rather than trusting local websites. Also the competition for chrome extensions is very less. Even a newbie can get into that field. Could you make a video on the business of Chrome extension. Thank you!

[@SimonHoiberg]

Yes, they do have an API as well! For billing APIs, you should use Stripe which you can integrate easily into this setup.

[@loaymamin]

great video! thank you so much! I want to use this service for a personalized chatbot service for users. can I add chatbot API inside my website? meaning can I add custom API calls that I have already built in my backend?

How is the scalability? Would you start with custom code or webflow membership?

[@SimonHoiberg]

Well, there's a limit of 1,000 members right now. But as I mention in the video, this is only temporarily while the feature is in beta. With that limit lifted, I'd say this is perfectly scalable for a simple SaaS.

[@ElihuNavon]

Hi Simon! Is there any solid reason to switch to webflow, assuming I have intermediate wordpress knowledge? (No code, maybe some basic js)

I could kinda see how I could get it to work with your previous webflow video, but this video doesn't seem to solve or simplify my problem at all.

[@SimonHoiberg]

Yes, Webflow's Membership also has an API which is meant for a case exactly like this. Although, arguably, if you already created the SaaS with custom code, you're probably better of using Stripe's API to handle subscriptions instead.

@@SimonHoiberg Thanks for your suggestion. Want to hear something funny?
