Is the end of SaaS near?

We're currently reviewing all our SaaS tools (and we genuinely have quite a few).

I'm increasingly getting messages from the team like: "$19 per seat per month? Honestly, we'll just build it ourselves."

Yes, sure: for proper data protection and cybersecurity, you (still) need some dev know-how here and there.

But the core question is: why pay for standard tools (often with too many or too few features) when we can build these tools ourselves just as well with our design expertise and new low-code/no-code solutions?

The first custom tool is already running. Our cost structure is happy.

And this isn't a "hook for reach," but was a genuine question to my LinkedIn network:

Are you now building your own tools instead of buying SaaS solutions?
