Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!
Honestly, I don't know if teams and projects should be a part of SaaS. If so, in which context?
I wonder, how are you going to charge? Is your product is app or it's SaaS itself? And I think $9.99/month is very low price.
Any link to share? ;-)
Good luck!

Look at some apps like Clockify, Slack, Trello, Jira, Asana, all have teams, -- I really like the way clockify does workspaces, and then you clients, and projects per client. All organized nicely. This sort of model of teams/projects would probably be quite common in SaaS...think anything tagetting SMB's that need to give access to parts of the app for their employees or contractors, or use it to organize, etc...
SaaS needs to have teams, projects, payments, auth, invites, and possibly be configurable for different 'types' of scenarios... projects could be optional for instance if they don't group actions by project, invites could be optional if anyone can join any team, heck even teams can be optional if you can't add multiple orgs but it's nice to have, say you run multiple brands or something....and want separate invoices with separate logos... etc...
I'm getting close to launch, thinking I might do it as a paid $9.99/month gets unlimited access to everything I do in the scope of the project. Might raise prices eventually but grandfather people in for a time. Or might do FOSS with addons that are pricier, but I don't like apps that do that -- I'd rather pay small fee monthly and use what I need depending on client.
