Software as a service (SaaS) is a model where software applications are provided over the internet, usually on a subscription basis. This includes services like Gmail, Dropbox, and Office 365. It is a subset of cloud computing and often referred to as "on-demand software." Platforms as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) are also subsets of cloud computing but refer to offering platforms and infrastructure, respectively, as a service. Cloud as a service is not a commonly used term in the industry.
