    Such a good lesson here. One of the pillars of business is the commandment of control. The more your SaaS business is dependent on third-party API, the more possibility of volatility in pricing, policies or technicalities. which leads of more loosely control. And is not guaranteed. Every SaaS owner should consider this when plugging to any third party online.
