Self-hosting

  • Full ability to customize
  • Can add any integrations wanted
  • Can adopt unique scaling approaches

Existing self-hosting arguments

A weak case: UpBuild Why You Should Build Your Custom Website on a Self-hosted Platform

SaaS platform

  • Easy to get started
  • Hosting, server security, scaling are provided
  • Can be more cost-effective due to economies of scale

Existing SaaS platform arguments

(The web site of pretty much any SaaS company will offer plenty.)

LibreSaaS

Existing LibreSaaS arguments

We coined the term LibreSaaS but there's only a handful of places making the case; i've only seen it from places actually providing Free Software as a service.
