SaaS and Enterprise software are different delivery models, where SaaS is a cloud-based service, hosted and maintained by a provider, accessible through the internet, and typically sold on a subscription basis, while Enterprise software is installed on the customer's own servers, with more customization and control options, but also requiring more resources and expertise to maintain and update. SaaS pricing is typically based on usage while Enterprise software is sold as a one-time or perpetual license. SaaS providers are responsible for maintenance and upgrades, while Enterprise software customers are responsible for it.
