In May 2022, Atlassian Marketplace celebrated its tenth anniversary. This is a great opportunity to take a look at the possibilities this platform offers.
Unlimited development
The Atlassian store is constantly expanding. Every month, it offers more and more solutions that extend the functionality of the tools and allow them to be tailored to the needs of the user or company. This is evidenced, for example, by the number of available extensions, which has grown from 60 (on the day the Marketplace opened) to more than 5,300 available today.
The add-ons (also known as plugins) are used to extend Atlassian systems such as JIRA, JIRA Service Management, or Confluence. Their wide range of categories allows for a comprehensive configuration of the end environment.
The producer’s systems have a built-in plugin management module. It is connected online to the Atlassian Marketplace, so its offerings are always up-to-date and available to every user.
What can you find on the Atlassian Marketplace platform?
The extension store offers support from various teams. Not only programmers can improve a system with its help. The solutions available in the Atlassian Marketplace offer tools for development, marketing, design, human resources, finance, and many, many other teams. In addition to the plugins themselves, this space helps you find relevant data about them.
What can you find on the platform?

2. Plugin search
Atlassian tools offer exceptional functionality. They are designed for maximum ease of use. The same is true for the Atlassian Marketplace. The platform is equipped with filtering options to find the right add-ons by specifying their features and tasks to be performed.
The available filters allow you to quickly find the information you need. The selection criteria are the following:
- popularity of the add-on,
- categories, for example: administrator tools, project management tools, reports, working time, workflows,
- add-on cost, paid or free version.
Some partners offer a free version of their extensions. However, most of them are paid. The price depends on the number of installed licenses. Please note that the producer allows you to download a trial version to test the functionality of the add-on.

The producer anticipated the users’ need for more advanced filtering. This is why the store also gives you the ability to search for add-ons by:
- compatible Atlassian products, for example: JIRA, JIRA Service Management, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, and many others,
- user’s hosting types, i.e.: Cloud, Server, Data Center,
- popularity of extensions, for example: highest rated, most popular, bestselling,
- additional filters, for example: trial versions, free for up to 10 users.
