New Apps in the 500 Club! – December 2020

Welcome to the new Apps in the 500 Club! When we started our analysis over a year ago, we wanted to understand if there was any major Pareto effect in the marketplace. Also we needed a way to determine who we should prioritize in adding to our categories. As a reminder vendors self select their categories on the Atlassian marketplace. Its certainly democratic yet it can mean if you want to know who the real players are in any category, there is a lot of “noise”.

We’re now tracking 540 apps (up from 531 last month) which are the real movers and shakers in the Atlassian marketplace – why? In the chart below you can see that 15% of all apps make up 83% of all instances. These 540 apps all have the distinction of having more than 500 instances.

Congratulations to the following vendors for their December results: BR-AG, venITure, Alan Gibson, resolution Reichert Network Solutions GmbH, ADELT Enterprises, LLC, Old Street Solutions, Alpha Serve, Async Poker, Bitwelt Software, view26 GmbH, SolDevelo.
You can also see how we’re categorizing them. We can see that there are a number of apps showing spectacular growth this year, particularly Macro Suite – Decision & HTML Macro and API Token Authenticator for Jira with 12300% and 12200% growth this year respectively. Furthermore, Simple Approval Workflow has already reached the 500 instance threshold despite only being released in October 2020.
