How is mullvad considered SaaS? They are providing networking services: relaying your traffic through a pathway other than your direct ISP.
I think of SaaS as something more like Google Docs: a cloud-based suite that replaces a locally installed office suite.
Microsoft Office 2021 is software; Office 365 is SaaS.
Or, a locally-installed application that operates without the use of the provider’s resources, but still requires an ongoing subscription for continued use. The software isn’t owned by the user, it is just a service the user continues to purchase.
Hot air balloon pilot. I am not paying for weather; I am paying for a convenient packaging of specific weather factors not commonly reported by mainstream sources.
For example, a map of the wind forecast at 100’ AGL. Any commercial source can give me wind forecast at the surface. Aviation specific apps can give me forecasts at 3000, 6000, 9000 feet.
The data is available from NWS, but it’s commonly provided as a vertical wind profile for a specific location, rather than a map of winds at a particular altitude.
That map is a premium feature of a commercial weather app for Android. I found it useful, so I subscribed.
