Tiivistelmä
In these modern times, SaaS software might have many different pricing models depending on the characteristics of the architecture. Despite the fact that SaaS is a success which is due to the combination of these two factors, architecture and pricing models. Not much study has been found regarding the relation between architecture and pricing models.
Since there is a lack of answers in this area. The objective of this study is to figure out whether SaaS architecture and pricing structures are related. Explaining how SaaS architecture affects pricing models and how pricing models effect SaaS architecture.
A multivocal literature review (MLR) was used in this thesis as a research method by exploring “grey” literature and “white” literature as well. A total of 70 bibliography was collected, of which 28 were grey, and 42 were white literature items. All the information from these items was collected and this tried to answer the relation between architecture and pricing models.
SaaS architecture and pricing models are found to be related closely to each other as they both have their own importance. A rock-solid proof was not found that proves that proves that these are always related to each other and are dependent on one another. They are somewhat important to each other as having a well-designed architecture helps in choosing the right pricing models and when the pricing models are chosen are already, that affects the determining of the SaaS architecture.
