I am personally biased towards option 2. It is called
Software As A Service, and has been the trend for at least 10 years now. I used to work at a company that started doing it in 2000, and is still successful with it today.

The benefits for your company:
You control who has access to the software, and can charge appropriately.

The benefits to the client:
They don't need to have technical staff on hand to support a running application. They can focus on their business, and not have to focus on running a website.

The disadvantage to your company:
You need to have infrastructure and expertise to scale up your application.

The disadvantage to the client:
They lose control of the application. They are no longer free to use it when and how they want to use it.
