How is Cloud SaaS different from aPaaS?

SaaS is a cloud computing model wherein software applications are made available over the internet. Users get access to these ready-to-use applications through a web browser, without needing to build and manage its own infrastructure.

aPaaS (Application Platform as a Service) on the other hand, helps business build its own applications on a cloud platform using low code methodology. This provides businesses the autonomy to build applications based on their own needs.
