We sell a Software as a Service with a monthly subscription, I’m trying to figure out if we can provide metadata through Schema.org’s specifications. I have been considering products, but it doesn’t seem to support subscription costs.
For products, Google seems to have e-commerce physical object-type stuff in mind.
There is also Software applications, but that seems to be made for downloadable software rather than web-apps.
What should I use?
There are different possible perspectives:
It’s a SoftwareApplication (or the more specific WebApplication, maybe with browserRequirements).
It’s a Service with a ServiceChannel+serviceUrl.
It’s a Product and/or an Offer (both include services).
(It is possible to specify subscription costs in Schema.org.)
You might want to use only one or multiple types of these, depending on your understanding of the SaaS, and what metadata you want to provide.
