Well, technically, but at £9 per year you're paying the equivalent of updating a standalone piece of software every 5 years or so.
And SaaS can have benefits. A piece of free audio transcription software, Transcribe, recently went SaaS at $20 per year, which seems horrendous, but I decided to go for it, as it is very useful, and in the few months since they started getting funding coming in they've added some excellent new features (including voice recognition). The pace of development has increased a lot.
I think you need to take each service on its own merits and, like any other purchase, see if it's worth it for you.
