AGPL requires you to disclose any changes to the source you make to an SaaS. But it allows making money.

If you want to disallow making money you have to use an even stricter license.

No free license disallows making money. But the requirement for making source code available means people dont need to pay.

To make money you need to offer something more than just one program. Adding value outside the code itself is viable.
