Calm SaaS

Writing about SaaS yesterday got me thinking:

Is there even a SaaS that’s not mission critical, don’t necessarily need be have ultra high uptime, be constantly vigilant?

That means, none of these bs:

I don’t want to wake up at 3am to fix a server on fire.
I don’t want to have to bring my laptop on vacation ‘just in case’.
I don’t want to be super stressed trying to get my app back up with angry customers breathing fire down my neck because it’s a mission critical infrastructure for their businesses.

A calm SaaS:

• Set and forget.
• Light support load.
• Emails only.
• Non urgent issues.
• No angry customers.
• 3 days reply is fine.
• No virality.
• All SEO.
• No personal brand.
• Steady marketing.
• No server (is that even possible).
• One time payment.
• Or annual non-recurring payment.
• Can be mostly automated.
• Or run by systems, agents, VAs.
• I can disappear for a month.

But seriously… do people even pay for this?!
Is it even possible to have this kind of calm SaaS?

The few I can think of:

• Digital products like ebooks, code snippets
• Online communities
• Vitamin SaaS, like widgets, analytics?

Anything else??
