Note that the author does not mention a single specific SaaS subscription he’s cancelled or seen a team cancel.

The only named product was Retool.

We just had a $240/year renewal for teamretro.com come due, and while TeamRetro has a lot of components, we are only using the retro and ice breaker components. So I gave Claude Code a couple of prompts and I now have a couple static HTML pages that do the ice breaker (using local storage) and the retro (using a Google sheet as the storage backend, largely because it mimics our pre-teamretro process).

It took me no more than 2 hours to put those together. We didn't renew our TeamRetro

If you're a typical software engineer, that time probably cost your company more than $240.

I didn't look at the product. But $240/year is nothing for an org. Plus not only just the time to make it. What about the time fixing bugs? hosting costs? backups? I'm sure there will be products that can be replaced (possibly this one), but I'm not convinced the death of SaaS is here yet.
