The Atlassian Marketplace can be an overwhelming place at times with over 1,500 vendors offering nearly 4,000 apps.
Furthermore, with app self-categorization it can be hard to find what you’re really looking for when you search for, say, a diagramming or reporting application.
This is where Blended Perspectives’ Marketplace Analytic Research Service (MARS) comes in. MARS contains in depth data on the Marketplace dating back to November 2018 while we have also spent the time carefully categorizing apps with over 500 instances into their most relevant category. This means that through MARS we can take the bazaar like Atlassian Marketplace and tailor it to your needs. On top of our 26 months worth of Marketplace data we also have a full history of Marketplace releases since it began in 2012.
To demonstrate the capabilities of MARS we thought we would put together a brief list of interesting/fun factoids:
November has 18% more major releases than December but only 5% more major and minor releases.
Cloud releases increased by 306% from January 2020 to February 2020.
The average marketplace app has 9 reviews.
Total cloud instances have increased by 96% since MARS data collection started in November 2018.
Following current trends we can expect that by 2022 total marketplace instances will be 1.74m.
Thanks to its 2020 acquisitions, Appfire now makes up over 9% of all marketplace instances.
Jira and Confluence apps make up 93% of all marketplace instances,
