Terminology / Buzzword for web applications with open registration

I’m looking for one - ideally two - terms/buzzwords for software products.

How do you refer to web applications that allow users to choose a payment plan and register themselves versus how do you call web applications that require an key account manager to setup an account for clients manually?

Any ideas?

I’d say the former is a self-service SaaS, whereas the latter is a high-touch or enterprise SaaS app.

1) Keyless Registration

2) Keyless Activation

Just depends what you want to emphasize. If you are focusing on payment and licensing options, then “flex __” or “your-choice ___”.

Or, “Get-it Your Way”
