Too many SaaS services for end-user?

I have been a software developer and made mostly tools for freelancers & agencies and even they had trouble signing up to multiple services but I am curious as to how a Squarespace or Webflow user feels about signing up to multiple SaaS services to achieve different kind of functionality?

For example, like, signing up for memberstack and then maybe a few other services to manage different functionalities? This is especially true for no-code services where each of them relies on different SaaS services to build the final product.

Let me know your thoughts & perspective.

    I’m a no-coder and run a squarespace site (among others) and I kinda like having multiple “saas’s”, one for each bigger feature I’m after. Then I know a team is totally focused on improving a specific feature, as opposed to having a bunch of different features to work on.

    With the likes of Zapier, this becomes even more attractive to me. I always envisioned internet exactly like this!

    Not sure i entirely understand the question, but if you're pondering the choice between an all-in-one app or linking together various apps for specific tasks, then its generally a question of budget, resources (staff say) or tech-ability. So it's relative to circumstances and the target market is it not?

    In my business (funnels), I have a selection of apps that i configure to do what clickfunnels does as a whole ,but for much less cost. This works for me, becuase i'm budget conscious and willing/able to put the time into several apps. But if you're time poor, cash rich, and/or a technophobe then clickfunnels might be a better choice.
