Kinetic software as a service is a means of software procurement that allows users to have a Kinetic system hosted and maintained by Q-Free; with flexible payment options that include volume, duration, and payment term discounts.

Two key differences between Kinetic SaaS and traditional on-premises software are:

• No extensive hardware requirements – it is the vendor’s responsibility to maintain the servers, database, and code that makes up the application.
• Flexible, subscription-based payment options – this creates a lower cost of entry compared to on-premises software, which is generally purchased through a perpetual license, paid in-full upfront.
