TWN VS SAAS
Why build when you can buy? Actually, why rent when you can own? The true comparison between self-hosted infrastructure and SaaS subscriptions. Spoiler: ownership wins.
HEAD TO HEAD
Fixed infrastructure costs. Predictable budgeting.
Monthly subscriptions that scale with usage. Surprise bills.
You own your data. Full control. Easy migration.
Your data lives on someone else's servers. Vendor lock-in.
Your data stays private. No third-party access.
Data mining, analytics, potential breaches. Terms can change.
Full source code access. Customize anything.
Limited to vendor's features. Request features, wait months.
You control when and what to update. Or we manage it.
Vendor handles updates. But also forces unwanted changes.
Direct access to engineers who built the system.
Email support, chatbots, community forums.
COST COMPARISON
Typical SaaS pricing vs self-hosted infrastructure costs. Savings increase with scale.
WHEN SAAS MAKES SENSE
We're not anti-SaaS. We're anti-renting-what-you-should-own. SaaS makes sense for:
- • Commodity tools (email, calendar, basic CRM)
- • Early-stage startups validating ideas
- • Teams without technical capacity
- • Truly best-in-class specialized tools
